7.4 Neutral Torque to Turn

It is usually easier to present running torque and

cranking torque separate from the additional torque
required for the charge pump. Charge pressure,
displacement and design differences will vary,
making it desirable to calculate these losses
separately. Breakaway torque is that torque
required to start initial shaft rotation. As movement
begins, lubrication will cause the torque requirement
to drop off some amount, depending on fluid
temperature. When shaft rotation is sufficient to
produce a charge pump pressure, the torque will
increase. Around 250 to 300 RPM windage losses
increase with shaft speed.
