Torque Dialog Box (AutoCAD Mechanical Toolset)

Use the Torque dialog box to specify a moment of torsion acting on the shaft.

Rest of Torque on Shaft

Specifies that the selected torque compensates for the imbalance of torques acting on the shaft.

The system validates all the torsion moments acting on the shaft to ensure that the sum of all torques (net torque) on the shaft is zero. If you select this check box, the selected torque automatically takes on a value to make the net torque zero.

Dynamic Load

Specifies that the torque varies within known limits.

Torque

 

Mt

Specifies the magnitude of the torque. If Dynamic Load is selected, this box splits into to two. Use these boxes to specify the magnitude of the maximum and minimum torques.

 

In Rotation Direction

Specifies the direction of the torque.

 

Opposite of Rotation Direction

Specifies the direction of the torque.
