How is a no load torque calculated?
1. Connect the BLDCM to load and run at any given speed.
How is the peak torque duration of a BLDC motor
2. Measure Vdc, Idc and N (rpm).
decided? How is it controlled?
3. Get machine efficiency*.
How can I calculate the torque of a brushless
4. Use following formula to compute approximate torque. motor?

Power Input (kW), Pi = V dc ∗ I dc

2πN Tl

Power Output (kW), Po =

60

Po
η =
Efficiency, Pi

Substituting & rearranging the terms leads to-

ηPi 60

Load torque (Nm), Tl =

2πN

The above computations will provide approximate value of load torque in absence of
a reliable torque sensor.

*Note: PMBLDC Machine’s efficiency may be obtained from manufacturer datasheets

or may be assumed somewhere between 75%~90%. Take care while making an
assumption. e.g. I’d take 85% ( = 0.85) efficiency for a low-power machine made by a
standard manufacturer, but it may not be true for a non-standard manufacturer.

A motor is a special case of transformer, electrical energy to torque. Independent of

technology you could establish a linear relation between torque and velocity.

Stall torque τs and no load speed ωs, and P=τ*ω

Finally the real limiting factor is power and thermal resistance of the motor, that
impose a maximum power related to ambient temperature
