Brake and Clutch Formulas
Motor Power
HP = Torque (in.-lb.) x RPM / 63025
Torque
Torque (in.-lbs.) = HP x 63025 / RPM
Line Speed of Payoff Spool
FPM = 3.142 x D (in.) x RPM / 12
Spool RPM
RPM = FPM x 12 / 3.142 x D (in.)
Motor Power
Power (watts) = HP x 746 (watts/HP)
Heat Capacity
Watts = Torque (in.-lb.) x RPM x 746 / 63025
