Compute the torque constant Kt in newton meters per ampere from the motor velocity constant Kv using Kt = 60 / (2 * pi * Kv).

Description

Compute the torque constant Kt in newton meters per ampere from the motor velocity constant Kv using Kt = 60 / (2 * pi * Kv).

Torque Constant Kt: Compute the torque constant Kt in newton meters per ampere from the motor velocity constant Kv using Kt = 60 / (2 * pi * Kv).

When to use Torque Constant Kt

Use this electronics calculation for a first-pass component, converter, signal, motor, or sensor estimate when the stated operating conditions and units match the device data.

Kv (rpm/V)
Motor velocity constant in rpm per volt.

How Torque Constant Kt works

Compute the torque constant Kt in newton meters per ampere from the motor velocity constant Kv using Kt = 60 / (2 * pi * Kv). The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1

Torque constant Kt (N·m/A)
Torque produced per ampere of current.

Limitations and assumptions

  • Motor constants, current, torque, speed, reactive power, and propeller thrust depend on winding temperature, controller, supply sag, losses, saturation, load curve, airflow, and operating point. Nameplate constants and ideal propeller laws need test data for final sizing.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

Check the result against the current datasheet and worst-case operating corners, then verify the circuit or measurement with simulation and bench testing where failure matters.
