Question:

what is the maximum torque you can get with a 120VAC 60HZ motor?

I know they come with different max torques... but can you give me a range of torque for the 120VAC 60HZ motors?

Answer:

Horsepower = Torque*Rpm/5252 Many AC motors have a pretty flat torque curve, but not all. You can get an approximate value from: Horsepower*5252/RPM = Torque in foot pounds Example, a 2HP/3600RPM motor would give about 3 foot pounds of torque at 3600RPM. If the motor is rated at 1/2 horsepower and 180RPM, you would get about 14.5 foot pounds of torque You can modify these motors' torque within very wide limits with a gear reduction, increasing or decreasing it.
