Electric Motors
The torque is the twisting force that makes the motor run and the torque is active from 0% to 100% operating speed. The power produced by the motor is zero at zero speed. Note! that the full torque from zero speed is a major advantage for electric vehicles. For full table - rotate the screen!
In order to effectively design with D.C. motors , it is necessary to understand their characteristic curves . For every motor , there is a specific Torque /Speed curve and Power curve .
Electrical Induction Motors
Full load operating torque vs. break down, pull up and locked rotor torque . Torque is the turning force through a radius - with the units Nm in the SI-system and the units lb ft in the imperial system. The torque developed by an asynchronous induction motor varies when the motor accelerates from zero to maximum operating speed.
Reference: Brushed Motor Performance Curves Terms like output, efficiency, stall torque (Ts), and stall current (Is) may appear on brushed motor performance curves . However, the basic interpretation remains the same as with brushless motors . Torque reaches its maximum when the motor stops rotating due to an increased load; this is known as a stall.
