Title: Physics/Mechanics, converting torque to rpm
Post by: nForce on July 26, 2019, 08:18:49 pm
I would like to know what is "mechanical dynamic equation" in mechanics and engineering to convert from torque to rpm? I know the relation T = J*alpha. But how to include motor characteristics for example slip (induction motor), friction, number of poles,  mutual inductance?

Thanks.

Here is an explanation of the relationship between torque/RPM but your question appears to be multi-part, too general, and not easy to solve in a brief time.  http://www.epi-eng.com/piston_engine_technology/power_and_torque.htm (http://www.epi-eng.com/piston_engine_technology/power_and_torque.htm)

In the physics of linear motion you have:

  (power) = (force) x (speed)

There is a direct equivalent for rotational motion:

  (power) = (torque) x (rotational speed)

In each case you have to use consistent units of measure. So for linear motion you may have:

  power [W] = force [N] x speed [m/s]

For rotational motion:

  power [W] = torque [N m] x rotational speed [rad/s]

These are the mechanical equations.

For electrical equations you will need to consult an electrical engineering text.
