Speed Depends on Load Torque
When a motor is loaded with no torque,
it spins at no-load speed, w0 .
w0 = no-load speed
When a motor is loaded with the stall torque
tstall or more, the motor will stop.
tstall = stall torque
Speed w
Speed vs. Torque is Linear

VEX Application: Pick a Gear Ratio
Step 1. This motor is stalled. What is the
stall torque?
tstall = d x Fβ”΄
= (3 in.)(1.4 lb)
= 4.2 lb·in.
VEX motor
Step 2. At what torque will the motor deliver
maximum power? tmaxPower = ½ tstall
= ½ (4.2 lbΞ‡in.) = 2.1 lbΞ‡in.
VEX Application: Pick a Gear Ratio
Step 3. The same motor as in
the last slide is being used to
power a winch with a drum of
radius 2 in. lifting 0.2 lb. What
torque is the motor applying?
tout = d x Fβ”΄
F = 0.2 lbs
= (2 in.)(0.2 lb)
= 0.4 lb·in.
VEX Application: Pick a Gear Ratio
Step 4. Instead of direct
drive, what gear ratio would
make the motor deliver
maximum power?
GR =
τout 0.4 in.βˆ™ lb
=
τin
2.1 in.βˆ™ lb
F = 0.2 lbs
12 teeth
= 0.19 ≐
60 teeth
VEX Application: Pick a Gear Ratio
Now the winch is geared so
that the motor is delivering
half its stall torque, for
maximum power.

Human Application: Bicycle “gears”
Can you explain why changing “gears”
on a bike helps a person win a race
that goes up and down hills?
