Result
Gear ratio3 : 1
Output speed483.3 rpm
Output torque87.3 N·m
Input power4.555 kW
Step-by-step solution
Ratio and speed
i = N2/N1 = 3
n2 = n1/i = 483.3 rpm
Torque
T2 = T1·i·η = 87.3 N·m
P = T·2πn/60 = 4.555 kW
Key formulas
- Meshing gears
- n1·N1 = n2·N2
- Torque
- T2 = T1·(N2/N1)·η
- Power
- P = T·ω, ω = 2π·n/60
- Compound train
- total ratio = product of the stage ratios
