Enter your values to calculate converter slip:
The converter slip calculator is an essential tool for measuring the difference between input and output speeds in a torque converter. This value is crucial in understanding the efficiency of a converter in applications such as automotive transmissions and industrial machinery.
Slip is defined as the percentage difference between the speed of the engine and the speed of the turbine inside the torque converter. A lower slip percentage indicates higher efficiency, while a higher slip percentage suggests energy loss in the form of heat.
1. Enter the input speed (engine RPM) and output speed (turbine RPM) in the respective fields.
2. Select the unit of measurement (RPM or RPS).
3. Click on the "Calculate" button to get the slip percentage.
4. The tool computes the slip using the formula:
Slip (%) = [(Input Speed - Output Speed) / Input Speed] × 100
5. The result will display the efficiency of your torque converter.
