Torque Converter Recommendation Chart FAQ

What is the formula for calculating torque?

Torque can be calculated by taking the cross product of two variables. The formula is τ = rF sin θ. The moment arm is denoted as r and defined as the distance from the pivoting point to where the force is acting. The force acting on the moment arm is denoted as F..

What is the stall speed of a torque converter?

Effective in-vehicle torque converter stall speed is defined as the rpm the engine can reach with the brakes locked and the transmission in gear before the drive wheels turn. Converter stall speed must be high enough to put the engine into the torque range where it can most efficiently launch the car.

How do you calculate torque angle?

Calculating the torque angle requires you to know several factors from the following relationship: torque = rFsin(theta). If you are told that the torque is at a maximum value, you know the angle is at 90 degrees; otherwise, the aforementioned equation must be rearranged.

What does torque converter stall speed mean?

Stall speed is the speed at which the converter holds back or limits the engine speed if the transmission output is prohibited. When your torque converter prevents the power transfer from your engine to your transmission, it increases the engine's RPM stalls.
