FAQs on Shaft Power

What is the formula to find Shaft Power?
The formula of Shaft Power is expressed as Shaft Power = 2*pi*Revolutions per Second*Torque Exerted on Wheel. Here is an example- 0.002199 = 2*pi*7*50.
How to calculate Shaft Power?
With Revolutions per Second (ṅ) & Torque Exerted on Wheel (τ) we can find Shaft Power using the formula - Shaft Power = 2*pi*Revolutions per Second*Torque Exerted on Wheel. This formula also uses Archimedes' constant .
Can the Shaft Power be negative?
No, the Shaft Power, measured in Power cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Shaft Power?
Shaft Power is usually measured using the Kilowatt[kW] for Power. Watt[kW], Milliwatt[kW], Microwatt[kW] are the few other units in which Shaft Power can be measured.
