Word Finder - torque

definition

A rotational or twisting effect of a force; a moment of force, defined for measurement purposes as an equivalent straight line force multiplied by the distance from the axis of rotation (SI unit newton metre or Nm; imperial unit pound-foot or lb·ft, not to be confused with the foot pound-force, commonly "foot-pound", a unit of work or energy)

definition

To twist or turn something.

The change in the distance d is proportional to the change in the torque transmitted from the shaft to the pulley.

The torque acting on the armature of an electric motor is necessarily accompanied by an equal and opposite torque acting on the FIG.

Weights W and w are adjusted to the torque.

In mechanics, the term "torque" is used of the turning-moment of a systemforce, as in a series dynamo.

Next problem to sort out was the torque converter.

It feels really solid to use and the torque seems pretty hefty, but it is equally controllable.

It can be said that that short-stroke engines generate higher horsepower at higher revs, long-stroke engines develop more torque at lower revs.

This added weight creates more rotational inertia, which in turn enables the disk to spin with more constant torque.

Peak torque is at 12,000rpm, but it doesn't drop off, giving a long, flexible spread of peak torque is at 12,000rpm, but it doesn't drop off, giving a long, flexible spread of peak power.

The constant power throughout the entire speed range produces a torque curve inversely proportional to the speed.

However, the high torque figure at lower revs allows for high gearing, which in turn makes for good motorway economy.

Spring - Both Midland Railroad Trust power cars have hydraulic fluid self-contained in the torque convertor.

The maximum flow limiter input to the ratio servo limits the engine shaft torque by limiting fuel flow.

There's ample torque low down, but you can feel the steering wheel shimmy as the turbo starts blowing.

The high torque also twists the shaft and that makes the drive feel soggy.

Visually check frames, pivot points, motor mountings, castors, torque tubes, motor drives spigots, and all other parts.

On an uphill stretch, swarming with traffic and crowded by roadside construction, I clicked off the overdrive for a little more torque.

You remark on just how much torque they've got, and you break into a grin that would make a Cheshire cat look sullen.

The plates are all immersed in viscous silicone fluid, a ' glue ' which helps transmit torque to the output side.

Variable braking torque You achieve torque control over a range 20-100% rated torque.

Good mid-range torque gives excellent acceleration, try an MGB GT V8.

There's plenty of low-down torque that pulls all the way to the 7500 red line.

The system allowed for the infinite adjustment of the engine's valve timing, which maximized low-end torque as well as top end power.

The maximum torque M K is effective in the case of short circuit.

The secret to traction is the combination of usable torque and a good rear suspension set-up.

This upgrade increases usable mid band torque and unlocks more of the engine's potential without demanding further upgrades to supporting systems.

A torque curve is produced by plotting the torque curve is produced by plotting the torque measured against the engine speed.

The highest peak torque of each test was used for analyzes.

Good holding torque stops the focusing lens group with precision without overshoot.

The blue line shows the inner disk torque, the green line shows the outer disk torque, the red line the total torque.

The hydraulic torque converter is an extension of the principle employed in a hydraulic coupling.

The gearbox was removed and rebuilt with tweaks and an uprated stall speed torque converter.

They even used a torque wrench to ensure my alloy wheel bolts were set correctly.

And how many of us have a torque wrench?

Designed to be used between 1/2 " square drive torque wrench and socket to accurately set the degrees of turn required by certain applications.

The working space is adjustable to accommodate different sizes of torque transducer.

At low engine speeds, the smaller turbocharger is effective immediately, producing 95 per cent of the available torque at just 1,500rpm.

Such individual commissions have ranged from a silver torque to gold wedding rings and tiaras.

It has a very large starting torque, which enables it to overcome the inertia of getting the load into motion, and it lifts heavy loads at a slower speed and lighter loads at a quicker one, behaving, under the action of the controller in a somewhat similar manner to that in which the cylinders of the steam crane respond to the action of the stop-valve.

The torque corresponding to this couple is F 1 X z D = 2µWID, and hence follows the fundamental relation, 2T = 2F 1 D = 2µWID, or if W now represents the weight supported by the axle, F will be the tractive force exerted on the frame by the two axle-boxes to propel the vehicle, and the more convenient relation is established, T=2FD=2µWD (3) If T has a greater value than this relation justifies the wheels will slip. F is called the " tractive force " at the rail.

Aquickvariation, or a periodic variation of the magnitude of the force or torque transmitted through the springs, tends to set up oscillations, and this tendency increases FIG.

Hirn (see Les Pandynamometres, Paris, 1876) employed this principle to measure the torque trans mitted by a shaft.

Where possible, however, by refinements in workmanship, etc., efforts are made to keep the torque required so low as to be within the power of the operator.

Runaway Escapement In the type of escapement shown below torque is applied to the scape wheel causing it to rotate.

There 's ample torque low down, but you can feel the steering wheel shimmy as the turbo starts blowing.
