Gearmotor Size Estimator

This document provides an Excel spreadsheet tool for estimating the size of a motor given a desired torque output. It includes default proportions for motor housing dimensions and gearbox dimensions relative to the motor housing. The user enters the desired torque and an assumed shear stress value, and the tool calculates estimated diameter and length values for the motor housing and gearbox in red text. The estimated torque can be calculated from the shear stress, motor housing diameter and length.
