    Torque Transfer and Gear Ratios: How to Calculate the Work Rate of a Gear Drive

    I am certainly grateful for your additional input, and as heavy as my workload is irl, research is a luxury unfortunately for me at this time :( We seem to be going the same place mathematically, but in the simplest and most direct terms, I m still at a loss to determine whether the torque...

    Torque Transfer and Gear Ratios: How to Calculate the Work Rate of a Gear Drive

    I have done the math to my understanding, and hp & torque follow this example: T=(hp x 5252)/rpm so, a 1hp motor turning at 400rpm, puts out 13.13ft.lbf and at 9x gr would make 3600rpm. Please tell me I missed something?

    Torque Transfer and Gear Ratios: How to Calculate the Work Rate of a Gear Drive

    So it's 13.13ft.lbf* 9, or 13.13/9? In other words, if the gr is set at 9:1, and RPM is* 9, then does the torque mirror that, or will the ft.lbf be reduced by 1/9?

    Torque Transfer and Gear Ratios: How to Calculate the Work Rate of a Gear Drive

    I am trying to determine both a gear ratio AND rpm/ft.lbf of a driver gear. My selected gear ratio is 9:1, I am using a 1HP motor (driver) @ 400RPM, making 13.13ft.lbf. The driven side must rotate at 3600RPM. I need to proof the following statement: 9:1 gr 400RPM*9=3600RPM (absolute)...
