Re: Turning torque

Any calculation you might do on this has a good chance of being off by such a large margin that it is not practical to actually use it in sizing your system. You would probably get a far more usable result by measuring a physical test if you can arrange it. Build a pivot, load the wheel, torque it with a lever, measure the force, calc the torque.
