Torque Calculator sizes your motor and gearbox in minutes — no more eyeballing datasheets or rebuilding spreadsheets. Enter your load (torque, speed, orientation) and get real torque/inertia numbers, motor & gearbox matches from a live parts catalog ranked by fit, inertia matching, built-in efficiency tables, and one-click PDF export. 5-day free trial, no card. Then $100 lifetime — no subscription. Windows only. Would love feedback from anyone sizing motion systems! 🙏
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Frost — I build motion systems for a living, and I got tired of the same routine every time a new project needed a motor sized: pull a datasheet, eyeball the torque curve, build (or dig up) a spreadsheet, cross my fingers.
Torque Calculator is the tool I wished existed. Give it your load — torque, speed, orientation (horizontal or vertical) — and it does the actual sizing math, searches a real motor/gearbox parts catalog for combinations that fit, and checks inertia matching so you're not stuck with something that hunts or resonates. Built-in efficiency reference tables for screws, belts, chains, and gearboxes mean you're not digging through five different vendor PDFs mid-calculation. One click gets you a clean PDF report to save or hand off.
A few things I'd love this community's take on:
Is the motor/gearbox recommendation list actually useful, or too narrow/broad?
What would make the PDF report more useful if you had to hand it to a colleague or client?
Any motion-system workflows I'm not accounting for?
It's Windows only right now — 5-day free trial, no card required, then a one-time $100 for lifetime access (no subscription).
Thanks for taking a look — genuinely happy to answer anything about how it works or why I built it the way I did. 🙏

$5,000 to promote my launch?! Geez... if I had that kind of money I would not be here to begin with. 🤣
