    HORSEPOWER FORMULAS

    For Rotating Objects

    HP =

    Where T = Torque (lbft)N = Speed (rpm)

    Objects in LinearMotion

    HP =

    Where F = Force (lbs)V = Velocity (ft/min)

    For Pumps HP =

    HP =

    Where

    GPM = Gallons per MinuteHead = Height of Water (ft)Efficiency of Pump = %/100PSI = Pounds per Inch

    Specific Gravity of Water = 1.01 CuFt per Sec. = 448 GPM1 PSI = A Head of 2.309 ft (water weight)62.36 lbs per CuFt at 62F

    For Fans and Blowers HP =

    HP =

    HP =

    Where

    CFM = Cubic Feet per MinutePSF = Pounds per Square FootPIW = Inches of Water GaugePSI = Pounds per Square InchEfficiency of Fan = %/100

  • For Conveyors HP (verticle)

    HP (horizontal)

    Where

    F = Force (lbs)V = Velocity (ft/min)

    Coef. of Friction Ball or Roller Slide = 0.02 Dovetail Slide = 0.20 Hydrostatic Ways = 0.01 Rectangle Ways with Gib = 0.01 to 0.25

    TORQUE FORMULAS

    T = HP x 5252

    N

    WhereT = Torque (LbFt)HP = HorsepowerN = Speed (rpm)

    T = F x R

    WhereT = Torque (LbFt)F = Force (Lbs)R = Radius (Ft)

    Ta (accelerating) WK2 x Change in RPM

    308 x t (Sec)

    Where

    Ta = Torque (LbFt)WK2 = Inertia at Motor Shaft (LbFt)2t = Time to Accelerate (Sec)

    Note:To change LbFt2 to InLbSec2, Divide by 2.68To change InLbSec2 to LbFt2, Mult. by 2.68

    AC MOTOR FORMULAS

    Sync Speed = Freq x 120

    Number of Poles

    Where Sync Speed = Synchronous Speed (Rpm)Freq = Frequency (Hz)

    % Slip = (Sync Speed - FL Speed) x 100

  • Sync Speed

    Where FL Speed = Full Load Speed (Rpm)Sync Speed = Synchronous Speed (Rpm)

    Reflected WK2= WK2 of Load

    (Reduction Ratio)2
