DC Motor Torque–Speed

A DC motor trades torque for speed along a straight line. See where a given load lands you, and where the motor delivers the most power.

Controls

Presets

A DC motor trades torque for speed along a straight line: maximum torque at stall, maximum speed at no load. Mechanical power (torque × speed) peaks right in the middle, at half the no-load speed. Educational tool.

Governing equation

Reading this result: Light load: the motor spins up past half-speed toward no-load, trading available torque away for RPM.

How it works

An ideal DC motor follows a linear torque–speed line: maximum torque at stall, maximum speed at no load. Because power is torque times speed, mechanical output peaks at half the no-load speed — the sweet spot for sizing a motor to its load. Educational tool.

Frequently asked questions

Is this dc motor torque speed curve tool really free?
Yes. DC Motor Torque–Speed runs entirely in your browser using your device's own compute, so local use is free forever. You only pay Compute Tokens if you scale a job to the cloud.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Everything runs client-side in a modern browser — no downloads, no license, no account required to start.
Can I save or share my simulation?
Create a free account to save projects, and use a shareable embed or minted DOI to publish a live, interactive version anywhere.
How accurate are the results?
The solver uses established numerical methods, but results are for research and educational purposes and should be validated against experiment or professional review before you rely on them.
