Torque and power<br />

Torque is the measure <strong>of</strong> the force applied to a member to produce<br />

rotational motion.<br />

Power is applied to a rolling mill by applying a torque to the rolls and by<br />

means <strong>of</strong> strip tension.<br />

The power is spent principally in four ways<br />

1) The energy needed to deform the metal.<br />

2) The energy needed to overcome the frictional force.<br />

3) The power lost in the pinions and power-transmission system.<br />

4) Electrical losses in the various motors and generators.<br />

Remarks: Losses in the windup reel and uncoiler must also be considered.<br />
