Screw Torque to Linear Force Calculator:
Enter the values of screw torque St(N-m), lever arm length L(meter) & angle of force a(degree) to determine the value of linear force LF(Newton).
Screw Torque to Linear Force Formula:
The linear force LF(Newton) in Newton is equal to the screw torque St(N-m) in Newton-meter divided by the lever arm length L(meter) in meter and multiply to the angle of force a(degree) in degree.
The equation of linear force can be writtern as,
LF(Newton) = St(N-m) / ( L(meter) * sin (a(degree)) )
Here,
LF(Newton) = linear force in Newton
St(N-m) = screw torque in Newton-meter
L(meter) = lever arm length in meter
a(degree) = angle of force in degree
Calculation for Screw Torque to Linear Force:
1)To find the linear force and the screw torque 400lbf-ft and the length 3ft and angle 45degree
Answer
LF = ST / ( L * Sin (a) )
LF = 400 / ( 3 * sin (45) )
LF = 156.69 lbf
2)To find the screw torque and the linear force 156 lbf and the length 3ft and angle 45degree
Answer
LF = ST / ( L * Sin (a) )
156 = ST / ( 3 * sin (45) )
ST = 400lbf-ft
