Core dia. = 2 inches

Information required:

Full roll dia. = 8 inches

RPM = 1000 RPM

Tension* = 2 lbs

Time to Stop Load = 4 secs.

Velocity = 200 fpm

Inertia** = 144 lb-in2

String and Pulley Method
Affix a pulley to the shaft of
a machine to be measured.
Secure a string or cord to the
outer surface of the pulley
and wrap the cord around a
few times. Tie the other end
of the cord to a spring scale.
Pull on the scale until the
shaft turns. The force (in
pounds) indicated on the
scale, multiplied by the radius
of the pulley (in inches) gives
the torque in pound-inches.
