Conveyor Power and Torque Calculator

Use this calculator to calculate the force, torque and power required from a conveyor to move a load at an angle. If your conveyor is horizontal then please enter an angle of 0.

Enter your values for the Mass, Diameter, Belt-Speed, Friction and Angle; then select your units as required to see the results.
