Use this equation and calculator to determine the the torque and force to drive material in linear motion with respect to a continuous fixed relation to a rotational drive/velocity. Such as, a material moving system or conveyor machine.

Equation:

and(Moment of Inertia)

 Open Calculator

Where:

T =	Required Torque, lb-ft
WK2 =	Inertia of load to be accelerated  lb-ft2 (See moment of inertia calculations)
=	Change of speed, rpm
t =	Time to accelerate the load, seconds
W =	Weight of object, lb
V =	Linear velocity, fpm
N =	Rotational speed of shaft, rpm
