Torque arm design

When using a standard torque arm or designing and manufacturing your own torque arm, please check the strength of each element as follows:

Check using torque arm reaction force R.

R = T + W × G C

Check bearing reaction forces A and B.

A (bearing a) = L1 × (R - W) - D × R L2

B(bearing b) = (L1 + L2) × (R - W) - D × R L2

T: Output torque N・m{kgf・m}
W: Weight of reducer kg{kgf}
R: Torque arm reaction force kg {kgf}
G: Distance between the center of the driven shaft and the center of gravity of the reducer m
C: Distance between the driven shaft center and the anti-rotation stopper m
D: Distance between the center of the reducer and the anti-rotation stopper m
L1: Distance m between the center of the reducer and bearing b
L2: Distance between bearing a and bearing b m

*The output torque is + when rotating in the direction shown on the left, and - when rotating in the opposite direction.
