Rotating Shafts and Moments

Torsional moments acting on rotating shafts

A torsional moment acting on a rotating shaft can be expressed as

M = P_hp 33,000 12 / (2 π w) = 63,057 P_hp / w (1)

where

M = moment (in lb)

P_hp = horsepower (hp)

w = rotational velocity (rpm)

1 hp (English horse power) = 745.7 W
