    For Rotating

    Objects

    HP =

    WhereT = Torque (lbft)

    N = Speed (rpm)

    Objects in

    Linear Motion

    HP =

    WhereF = Force (lbs)

    V = Velocity (ft/min)

    For Pumps HP =

    HP =

    Where

    GPM = Gallons per Minute

    Head = Height of Water (ft)

    Efficiency of Pump = %/100

    PSI = Pounds per Inch

    Specific Gravity of Water = 1.0

    1 CuFt per Sec. = 448 GPM

    1 PSI = A Head of 2.309 ft (water weight)

    62.36 lbs per CuFt at 62F

    HP =

    Where

    CFM = Cubic Feet per Minute

    PSF = Pounds per Square Foot

    PIW = Inches of Water Gauge

    PSI = Pounds per Square Inch

    Efficiency 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

    Where

    T = Torque (LbFt)

    HP = Horsepower

    N = Speed (rpm)

    T = F x R

    Where

    T = Torque (LbFt)

    F = Force (Lbs)

    R = Radius (Ft)

    Ta

    (accelerating)

    308 x t (Sec)

    Where

    Ta = Torque (LbFt)

    WK2 = Inertia at Motor Shaft (LbFt)2

    t = Time to Accelerate (Sec)

    Note:To change LbFt2 to InLbSec2, Divide by

    2.68

    To 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)
