How to Calculate Torque Absorbed by Brake?
Torque Absorbed by Brake calculator uses Torque Absorbed By Brake = (Tension in Tight Side of Band Brake-Tension in Loose Side of Band Brake)*Radius of Brake Drum to calculate the Torque Absorbed By Brake, Torque Absorbed by Brake is a measure of the rotational force that the brake can exert to stop or slow down a rotating drum or wheel. This torque is generated by the frictional force between the brake band and the drum, which results in a difference in tension between the tight and loose sides of the band. Torque Absorbed By Brake is denoted by Mt symbol.
How to calculate Torque Absorbed by Brake using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Torque Absorbed by Brake, enter Tension in Tight Side of Band Brake (P1), Tension in Loose Side of Band Brake (P2) & Radius of Brake Drum (r) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Torque Absorbed by Brake calculation can be explained with given input values -> 2.9E+9 = (15000-5260)*0.3.
