Symbol: Pshaft
Measurement: PowerUnit: kW
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Revolutions per Second
Revolutions per second is a unit of rotational speed or frequency. It measures the number of complete rotations or cycles an object makes around a fixed axis in one second.
Symbol:
Measurement: FrequencyUnit: Hz
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Torque Exerted on Wheel
Torque exerted on wheel is a measure of the rotational force applied to an object, defined as the product of the force applied and the distance from the point of application to the axis of rotation.
Symbol: τ
Measurement: TorqueUnit: N*m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Shaft Power?

Shaft Power evaluator uses Shaft Power = 2*pi*Revolutions per Second*Torque Exerted on Wheel to evaluate the Shaft Power, Shaft Power formula is defined as a representation of the power transmitted by a rotating shaft in mechanical systems. It quantifies the effective work output, essential for evaluating the performance of engines and machinery in various applications. Shaft Power is denoted by Pshaft symbol.

How to evaluate Shaft Power using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Shaft Power, enter Revolutions per Second (ṅ) & Torque Exerted on Wheel (τ) and hit the calculate button.

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.
