Simplifying torque.
« on: June 18, 2009, 01:18:10 PM »
Ok so I measured the torque of a motor and I got      2.5lb/ 2.7in.    using this method ( http://www.piclist.com/techref/io/stepper/measure-torque-rb.htm ).  How would I simplify that so I had         ?lbs/1in.

Usually I would just divide both sides by 2.7, but that would make the lb side smaller when it should be bigger.

Since it is 2.5lbs / 2.7in you need to multiply by 2.7 to get Xlbs/1 in.

So 2.5 * 2.7 = 6.75 lbs/in of torque
