Torquebalanced
Torquebalanced refers to a condition in mechanical design where the net torque about a specified axis is zero, yielding static or steady-state rotational equilibrium. In physics, the torque τ from a force F applied at position r is τ = r × F, and torquebalance requires the sum of all torques, ∑τ, to be zero for the significant axes. When this holds, the object can resist angular acceleration, and in rotation the angular velocity can remain constant if external torques cancel.
Achieving torquebalance involves arranging forces and inertias so that their torques counteract one another. This can
Applications include engines and powertrains to reduce torsional stress, rotor assemblies in electric motors and generators
Limitations: perfect torquebalance is rarely attainable in practice. Variations in loading, misalignment, friction, bearing clearance, and
