Frequently Asked Questions
What does this calculator calculate?
The Curtain Track Platform Mechanical Lift Capacity Calculator estimates Lift Capacity based on the input parameters you provide
Why is motor rated torque important in this calculation?
motor rated torque is directly proportional to lift capacity. When you enter motor rated torque in N·m, the calculator uses it in the engineering formula to compute the output
How should I interpret the result lift capacity?
The calculator outputs lift capacity in N. For larger forces, you can divide by 1000 to express the result in kN. The result is computed directly from the input values using the defined engineering formula
What units should I use for the inputs?
Enter each value in the units shown next to the input field: Motor Rated Torque (N·m), Gear Reduction Ratio (dimensionless), Lift Drum Diameter (m), Mechanical Efficiency Factor (dimensionless), Design Safety Factor (dimensionless). Make sure all inputs use the specified units for consistent results
What assumptions does this calculator use?
This calculator uses automatically validated engineering formulas. Results are approximate and should be validated against site-specific conditions, applicable codes, and professional engineering judgment
