Re: need help with torqe calculations

Hi George,

Since I was not sure how to word my problem slimply, I send you an e-mail directly. with a photo.

If you can make sense of it and we can clean it up a bit, it would help others to correctly size parts of their machines as well.

Let me know if you did not get the e-mail.
