Did we solve your problem today?

An electric motor's torque relates to its power output and rotational speed.

The math behind it

T(N·m) = 9549 × power(kW) ÷ speed(rpm). The constant folds in the 60/(2π) conversion.

Worked example

5 kW at 1500 rpm → about 31.8 N·m.

FAQ

Why more torque at low rpm?

For the same power, torque rises as speed falls (T = P/ω).
