I have a cylinder that is attached to an actuator. I know the moment of inertia, how do I find the minimum required torque?(without any external forces)

Is this info I would use to determine the Torque?

(WK~2)DeltaN
T= ------------
308t

and

Open Calculator

Where:
T = Required Torque, lb-ft
WK2 = Inertia of load to be accelerated lb-ft2
(See moment of inertia calculations)
DeltaN = Change of speed, rpm
t = Time to accelerate the load, seconds
W = Weight of object, lb
R = Radius of cylinder, ft

For constant acceleration
T=WK^2(2pi)N/60gt
g=32.2ft/sec^2
You forgot the g.
Always check your units when you do this kind of a problem
