  2. Torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque

    t. e. In physics and mechanics, torque is the rotational analogue of linear force. [1] It is also referred to as the moment of force (also abbreviated to moment). The symbol for torque is typically , the lowercase Greek letter tau. When being referred to as moment of force, it is commonly denoted by M.

  3. Motor constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_constants

    Motor velocity constant, back EMF constant. is the motor velocity, or motor speed, [2] constant (not to be confused with kV, the symbol for kilovolt), measured in revolutions per minute (RPM) per volt or radians per volt second, rad/V·s: [3] The rating of a brushless motor is the ratio of the motor's unloaded rotational speed (measured in RPM ...

  4. Gear train - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_train

    Narrowing the gaps will increase acceleration at speed, and potentially improve top speed under certain conditions, but acceleration from a stopped position and operation in daily driving will suffer. Range is the torque multiplication difference between 1st and 4th gears; wider-ratio gear-sets have more, typically between 2.8 and 3.2. This is ...

  5. Piston motion equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_motion_equations

    Piston motion equations. The reciprocating motion of a non-offset piston connected to a rotating crank through a connecting rod (as would be found in internal combustion engines) can be expressed by equations of motion. This article shows how these equations of motion can be derived using calculus as functions of angle (angle domain) and of ...

  6. Rolling resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_resistance

    The driving torque to overcome rolling resistance and maintain steady speed on level ground (with no air resistance) can be calculated by: = where V s {\displaystyle V_{s}} is the linear speed of the body (at the axle), and

  7. Euler's equations (rigid body dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_equations_(rigid...

    In classical mechanics, Euler's rotation equations are a vectorial quasilinear first-order ordinary differential equation describing the rotation of a rigid body, using a rotating reference frame with angular velocity ω whose axes are fixed to the body. Their general vector form is. where M is the applied torques and I is the inertia matrix.

  8. Synchronous motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_motor

    This creates torque that pulls the rotor into alignment with the nearest pole of the stator field. At synchronous speed the rotor is thus "locked" to the rotating stator field. This cannot start the motor, so the rotor poles usually have squirrel-cage windings embedded in them, to provide torque below synchronous speed. The machine thus starts ...

  9. Precession - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precession

    Torque-induced precession (gyroscopic precession) is the phenomenon in which the axis of a spinning object (e.g., a gyroscope) describes a cone in space when an external torque is applied to it. The phenomenon is commonly seen in a spinning toy top, but all rotating objects can undergo precession. If the speed of the rotation and the magnitude ...
