Re: Calculating Linear Force from Motor Torque?

You can't just use a stall torque calculation for your designs. With electric motors, the torque is much less when the motor is spinning. You need to find a motor curve and estimate how fast/how much torque the motor will generate. If you're using any sort of gear reduction, you need to take into account that some energy will be lost there. Also, you need a significant safety factor.
