As there are a lot of things to learn in the amazing world of machines and their design, torque is one important thing engineers have to go through carefully. Torque is a word reserved for the rotational force that drives any machine to carryout its original work efficiently. There are two distinct types of torque within the realm, driving and reaction. The other component of torque, reaction torque or force is the equal and oppositely directed vector sum of all such torques.
Reaction torque: The two basic areas in which we consider reaction torques are its magnitude and direction. The reaction torque and its magnitude indicate the amount of force exerted by the machine on that supporting structure, while direction depicts which way is suspended in from were applied.
Most of the time, The magnitude of reaction torque is directly proportional to driving torque applied by a machine. The properties like the weight of equipment, their design and operational conditions decide upon how much reaction torque it should have. A machine will also generate an equal-and-opposite reaction torque on its mounting surface, if it produces 50-newton-meters (Nm) of driving torque for example.
Because the machine rotates and [therefore] an applied force, so that makes it to determine in which direction torque. Torque vectors are usually normal to the axis of rotation of a machine. Therefore, if a machine rotates one way and the other antiwise, they will produce reaction torques in opposite directions. Also, the same rotor as viewed clockwise will have positive reaction torque one direction but not so if seen counter-clockwise
The gear ratio is also an essential factor in determining the amplitude and sign of reaction torque that provides resistance to a machine. Higher gear ratios typically require more torque to be transmitted from the driving shaft to the driven one, which in turn results in a greater reaction torque. As a result, the reaction torque increase must be accounted for in machine design by engineers very carefully when dealing with gear ratios.
One of the acute parameters in machine design, which no experienced engineer could oversee is reaction torque. Failure to account for reaction torque could cause the equipment to fail and endanger both machine operators as well. Thus, in the design of safe and efficient machinery is critically important to understand both magnitude and direction of reaction torque.
Reaction torque is an important element in estimating the forces experienced by various components of machine and thus to check load carrying capacity for support structure. By carefully considering reaction torque, engineers can optimize machine design and minimize component wear while enhancing performance overall efficiency.
Power-electronic technologies have made recent developments in power transmission systems, as found in electric motors and inverters. Traditional power transmission systems, by comparison derive and pass the drive work source to load across a belt or chain drives. As the design of these systems differ, so does their reaction torque. Higher reaction torque values are characteristic of traditional high gear ratio systems. On the other side of that, systems with lower gear ratios have less reaction torque on the support structure in modern setups.
Table 8-1 Common Methods for Measurement and Calculation of Reaction Torque
In machines, the reaction torque is measured and calculated using different methods as; A common method to do so is using a torque wrench, which puts rotational force on the equipment and measures the resulting torque. Instead, strain gauges are a common tool to measure reaction torque by sensing the change in twist from the applied torque on the support structure of a machine.
Finally, then reaction torque became to play an important role in the design and operation of machines. For such machinery to be safe and efficient, the strength and direction of every force on a machine part as well as effects from gear ratios must all pass under careful consideration by engineers. A solid grasp of reaction torque complexity will allow engineers to prevent machine failure, increase safety levels during operation and boost overall productivity.
