One of the most common questions in robot design is: “Can this motor generate enough force for what I need?”
If you can calculate in advance how much weight a robotic arm can lift, or how much load an actuator needs to handle, you’ll be able to make much more accurate and efficient decisions when selecting motors or designing gear ratios.
In this video, we focus on torque calculation—how to determine the output torque a robot actuator can generate, and how that directly applies to real-world design scenarios.
Even without advanced math, we’ll walk you through the basic concepts and step-by-step calculations in a clear and practical way.
Whether you’re just starting out or refining an existing design, understanding torque calculation is key to building more capable and reliable robots.
