    How to calculate the required torque to rotate the shaft?
    HI to all

    I need the formula to calculate the required torque to rotate the shaft.

    As they say in the standardized tests:

    "It is not possible to answer the question with the information given."

    Add some information about your problem.

    The more torque you apply the faster a sfat will accelerate:

    Torque = I times Alpha

    where I = moment of inertia of the shaft, and alpha is the desired rotational acceleration.

    This assumes there is no friction or other opposing forces.
