Torque Equation of DC Motor

Torque is turning or twisting force about an axis torque is measured by the product of force and the radius at which the force acts.

TORQUE EQUATION

Torque is turning or twisting force about an axis torque is measured by the product of force and the radius at which the force acts. Consider a wheel of radius 'r' metres acted on by a circumferential force 'F' Newton as shown in fig 3.31.


The angular velocity of the wheel is

ω = 2πN / 60

Torque, T = F × r

Work done per revolution = F × distance moved

= F × 2πг

Power developed, P = Work done / Time = F × 2πг / time for 1 rev



P = Τω

T = Torque in N-m,

ω = Angular speed r/sec

Power in armature = Armature torque × ω





The torque of a DC motor is proportional to the product of the armature current and the flux.
