Motor Torque, Starting Torque, Stall Torque, Load Torque

SUMMARY

The discussion clarifies the distinctions between starting torque, stall torque, and load torque in electric motors. Starting torque, also known as locked-up torque, is the initial torque required to overcome friction and inertia to accelerate the load. Load torque is the torque needed to maintain a steady state speed, which is typically less than starting torque. Stall torque is the maximum torque that can be applied before the motor stops, and it is crucial to have motor protection devices to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electric motor operation
  • Knowledge of torque definitions: starting torque, stall torque, load torque
  • Familiarity with motor protection devices
  • Basic principles of inertia and friction in mechanical systems
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specifications and characteristics of 7.5 hp electric DC motors

Hi, I am new here.

I have some problems with the engine motor. What is the difference between starting torque (or locked up torque) and stall torque?

What happen if motor torque = load torque? Will the mass move up with constant speed or stay stanionary? motor torque = stall torque = load torque?

Thanks for any help and suggestion! :smile:

Regards

Assuming you are asking about an electric motor...

Starting torque = torque reqd to overcome friction, load inertia, stiction, etc., and accelerate the load inertia. This is meant to be a transient value.

Running torque or load torque = less than starting torque, keeps the previously accelerated inertia + load at steady state speed.

Stall torque = torque value that will slow down and stop your motor + load. Hopefully you have properly wired your motor protection devices and they will kick in. Otherwise the motor will draw a lot of current, heat up, catch fire, burn your building down.
 
i have a 7.5 hp electric dc motor
what is the torque produced at 1000rpm
