Technology / Motorcycle / Brake Horsepower (BHP): The measure of an engine’s horsepower without the loss in power caused by the gearbox, generator, differential, water pump, and other auxiliary components. Horsepower delivered to the rear wheel of MORE
Technology / Motors / Fractional-Horsepower Motor: A motor usually built in a frame smaller than that having a continuous rating of one horsepower, open construction, at 1700 -1800 rpm. Within NEMA frame sizes FHP encompasses the 42, 48 and 56 frames. MORE
Health / Fitness / Horsepower (HP): A measure of power calculated by multiplying torque times speed and dividing by a constant based on the unit of measure used. At the same torque, or pull on the belt, a reduction of speed results in a MORE
Technology / Motors / Identification: In most instances, the following information will help identify a motor: 1. Frame designation (actual frame size in which the motor is built). 2. Horsepower, speed, design and enclosure. 3. Voltage, f MORE
Technology / Motors / Constant Torque: Refers to loads whose H.P. requirements change linearly with changing speeds. Horsepower varies with the speed, i.e.- 2/1 HP at 1800/900 RPM. (Seen on some 2-speed motors). Possible applications inclu MORE
Technology / Motorcycle / Dynamometer: A machine used to measure torque and rotational speed (RPM) which can be used to calculate the mechanical power (such as Horsepower) produced by an engine. MORE
