One HP is the rate of work required to raise 33,000 pounds one foot in one minute. Torque: The twisting or turning effort around a shaft tending to cause rotation. Torque is determined by multiplying the applied force times the distance from the point where force is applied to the shaft center. TQ = F (force) x R (radius) 63,025 x HP RPM = Force x Lever Arm (in Inches) 5,252 x HP = RPM = Force x Lever Arm (in Feet) Torque (in Pound-Inches) = Torque (in Pound-Feet) Torque Calculation Example 20 HP at 100 RPM = 12,605 Pound-Inches Torque 2.0 HP at 10 RPM = 12,605 Pound-Inches Torque Force = Working...

Shaft Selection Shaft Selection Important factors to consider when calculating shaft size (a) shafting is subject to a bending moment and a torsional moment. (b) bending moment is that force which tends to bend a shaft. torsional moment is that force which tends to twist a (c) shaft. (d) shaft size is determined by the combined action of the bending and torsional moments. A = Shaft length from center of bearing to center of load L = Unbalanced load in pounds W = Suspended weight of elevator (chain, buckets, etc.) in pounds R = Radius of wheel in inches B = Bending moment T = Torsional moment...

Flywheel Formulas Flywheels are occasionally used on a few machines, such as air compressors, to even out load pulsations. These formulas are useful in designing entire ywheel rims. It is also possible to use V-Belt sheaves as a ywheel thus eliminating the need for a separate ywheel in the system. Consult Martin with specic requirements.

Steel Properties Properties of Steel The information shown below is offered as a general guide to physical properties of steel in common use. Lower tensile properties are to be expected in large sections; the values of strength decrease as the size of the section increases. These values are not guaranteed and must NOT be used in specifying the raw materials or as a basis for acceptance or rejection of material. It must not be assumed that these properties will be obtained in all cases as they vary widely with permissible variations in analysis, size of section, rolling conditions, grain size...
