Hi smart people,

If I am using a fly wheel to count pulses on my motor, I know how many pulses
I get
per revolution so I know the speed of the motor - right?

I have an open argrument with an associate who says that he is really
measuring torque
and not speed,  So is there a relationship here?  I could understand if the
measurement was motor current, but torque in ft*lbs or N*m  related back to
rpm.

I guess you could say the faster the motor runs the less or more torque you
product as in being in a low gear at 2300 rpm going 50mph or higher gear,
1300 rpm going 50mph.


Thanks
