1. Torque
It is meant the turning or twisting amount of a
force about an axis. It is measured by the product of
the force and the radius at which the force acts.
T= Fr
2. Armature Torque (Ta)
It is the torque developed by the armature of
a motor at a certain speed. It is also called as
developed torque or gross torque.
Ta = 0.159 N-m
Ta = 0.1173 lb-ft
Ta = 9.55 N-m
Ta = kIa
Tsh = 9.55
4. Lost Torque (Tlost)
It is the torque which is due to the iron and
friction losses of the motor.
