Workflow
- Convert transmitted power and speed to torque in N·mm.
- Enter a source-controlled allowable shear stress and divide by the selected factor of safety.
- Use the solid or hollow torsion relation, then round the result upward to a selected standard size.
Engineering review boundary
Use controlled material data, actual load conditions and the applicable design code. This guide supports preliminary calculation understanding; it does not certify a design.
