The 2nd Gear Torque equation calculates the torque of a second gear when the torque and number of teeth are known for the first gear and the number of teeth of the second gear is known.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (τ) Torque of gear 1
• (T₁) Teeth in gear 1
• (T₂) Teeth in gear 2

Torque Gear 2: The calculator returns the torque in `N*M`.  However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

The formula for the relationship between interlocked gears and their torque is: 

`tau_1 * T_1 = tau_2 * T_2`

The formula for the torque on the second gear is:

`tau_2=tau_1*T_1/T_2`

where: 

• `tau_2` is the torque on gear 2
• `tau_1` is the torque on gear 1
• `T_1` is the teeth on gear 1
• `T_2` is the teeth on gear 2
