How It Works

Calculate output torque from input torque, gear ratio and transmission efficiency.

Output Torque = Input Torque × Gear Ratio × Efficiency

Use the result as an engineering calculation aid and verify critical designs against applicable standards and manufacturer specifications.

How to use this calculator

What to enter

Enter or select the following as requested: Input torque; Torque unit; Gear ratio; Transmission efficiency (%). Follow the units, valid ranges, examples, and options displayed beside each field.

What the result means

The mechanical result estimates torque, rotational speed, or power from the entered values and the relationship used by the tool. Check whether the inputs refer to shaft speed, output speed, rated power, or load torque, and keep units consistent.

When to use it

Use this for preliminary rotating-machinery or mechanical-system calculations. Verify the operating point, gear ratio, losses, and equipment ratings before using the estimate for design or operation.
