Go to Post ...the list of the things we want to get done in the off-season has grown to such a length that I have to take off my shoes and socks to count them...and I think I may need to grow a few more toes soon. - StephLee [more]

Re: Turning torque

Sorry, .051in^2.

It is a Shore A durometer material call Vulkosoft. The wheel has a flat surface like a forklift wheel.

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.
