SUMMARY
The term "Speed" in rotating machines refers to angular velocity, which is measured in radians per second (rad/s). Torque-speed matching is crucial in the design of motor-driven machines to ensure optimal performance and efficiency. This concept is illustrated through torque-speed plots for different loads, such as fan loads and high static friction loads, which demonstrate the relationship between torque and speed in various operating conditions.
