RPM

Technology / Motorcycle / RPM: RPM is defined as Revolutions Per Minute. Horsepower, Torque, and RPM are interrelated by the formula: HP = Torque * RPM/5252.

Revolutions Per Minute (RPM)

Technology / Motors / Revolutions Per Minute (RPM): The number of times per minute the shaft of the motor (machine) rotates. This is a function of design and the power supply. MORE

Base Speed (RPM)

Technology / Motors / Base Speed (RPM): The speed which a DC motor develops at rated armature and field voltage with rated load applied. MORE

Inertial Load

Technology / Motors / Inertial Load: A load (flywheel, fan, etc.) which tends to cause the motor shaft to continue to rotate after the power has been removed (stored kinetic energy). If this continued rotation cannot be tolerated, some m MORE

Constant Torque

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

Gearmotor

Technology / Motors / Gearmotor: A gearhead and motor combination to reduce the speed of the motor to obtain the desired RPM's. MORE

Torque

Technology / Aviation / Torque: A twisting, gyroscopic force acting in opposition to an axis of rotation, such as with a turning propeller: aka Torsion. MORE
