Frequently Asked Questions
One horsepower equals 6,600 inch-pounds per second, which is 550 foot-pounds per second multiplied by 12 inches per foot.
Multiply horsepower by 6,600.
It's useful for small motors, servos, and actuators where torque is naturally measured in inch-pounds rather than foot-pounds.
One foot-pound equals 12 inch-pounds, so 550 ft-lb/sec (1 HP) equals 6,600 in-lb/sec.
Divide inch-pounds per second by 6,600.
