Conveyor Torque Pre-Estimate
Calculate the required torque and speed from your conveyor geometry, capacity and condition — the real process need, not the motor nameplate.
The tool reports required torque, speed and power only; it does not select a motor. Every question can be answered by a plant engineer by looking or from production data.
Conveyor type
Incline profile
Geometry
Centre-to-centre distance between head and tail pulleys. Conveyors below 80 m are not calculated by this tool.
Vertical difference between infeed and discharge. Enter 0 for a horizontal conveyor.
Load and speed
Conveyed materialSizing uses the peak capacity. If unknown, enter the normal capacity.
Outside diameter including lagging — measured with a tape.
Leave empty if unknown; we compute it from the pulley diameter and rpm.
Can be left empty if you entered the belt speed.
Conveyor condition
Material conditionMaintenance condition (idlers, alignment, housekeeping)Operating conditions
Leave empty if unknown; 10 seconds is assumed and stated in the result.
If you know your existing drive (optional, for comparison)
We show the installed continuous torque next to the calculated need.
