Hi, I am able to measure the voltage, rpm and current of a motor when modifying a PWM input from zero to full. If necessary, I could calculate the stall torque. With this information is it possible to calculate the torque of the motor (theoretically) without doing specific measurements? Thanks for all assistance. |

Yes, once you know the stall torque, measure its corresponding RMS current.Then all other torques are proportional to the RMS current.
Must be RMS current. |

Thank you Zekeman How do I calculate the RMS current? What is the formula? Thanks |

You don't calculate the current, you measure it with an RMS ammeter. For example, say the stall torque were 5 lb ft at a measured 10 amps RMS, then you run the motor and measure an RMS current of 6 amps. Then the torque is
6/10*5=3 Lb ft |
