torque to hp calculator

Power can also be found from torque and speed: HP = 5252 / (T(lb·ft) × RPM) or in metric terms power, kW (T(N·m) × RPM) / 9550; kW / 0.746 = HP. Power factor and Efficiency should be included for motors.

Formula & Table Summary:

  • HP = kW ÷ 0.746; kW = 0.746 × HP
  • kW = (TN·m × RPM) ÷ 9550
  • HP = (Tlb·ft × RPM) ÷ 5252
  • 1φ: Pin(kW) = V × I × PF ÷ 1000
  • 3φ: Pin(kW) = √3 × V × I × PF ÷ 1000
  • Pout = η × Pin

Inputs: torque & RPM or kW/HP; optional V, I, PF, phase, η (motors). Outputs: kW, HP, and notes for sanity checks.

mechanical horsepower tool

Being a horsepower calculator, it converts power between horsepower (hp), kilowatts (kW), and watts (W) and calculates the HP given the torque and speed. Torque values can be entered in Nm or lb ft to give mechanical power, or values of kW or HP to quickly convert two ways (1 hp = 0.746 kW). Electrical input/output can be estimated using voltage, current, power factor, and either single-phase or three-phase motor efficiency. The tool offers the following standard variations: mechanical horsepower (imperial), metric power (kW), and water horsepower in hydraulic applications. Use it to size motors, verify nameplate ratings, compare alternatives, and reality-check field measurements. A concise/compact formula/table and sample table aid students, electricians, and engineers to verify results visually. Created to load quickly and to rank on low-competitive, calculator-based searches and remain accurate and practical.

Frequently Asked Questions - Horsepower Calculator:

Divide kW by 0.746 to get HP.
HP = T(lb·ft)×RPM/5252 or kW = T(N·m)×RPM/9550, then HP = kW/0.746.
Mechanical HP is shaft power; electrical HP is based on electrical input/output including PF and efficiency.
1 hp is defined as 745.7 W; calculators typically use 0.746 kW for simplicity.
Multiply electrical input kW by efficiency to estimate shaft output kW before converting to HP.
HP = W / 745.7.
Yes—use kW = T(N·m)×RPM/9550, then convert to HP.
Water HP = (Flow×Head×γ)/(746×η); it estimates hydraulic shaft power at pumps/turbines.
PF affects input kW from V and I; lower PF raises current for the same real power.
RPM ≈ 5252×HP/T = 5252×1/10 ≈ 525 RPM.
