Centrifugal Force Calculator
Outward force on a rotating mass — balancing and guard design.
100 g of unbalance at 150 mm and 3,000 rpm shakes with 148 N — ω² means doubling speed quadruples it. This is the entire case for balancing grades (ISO 21940 G6.3 etc.).
Formula
Centrifugal Force Calculator is a free centrifugal force for mechanical and machine-design engineers — instant, accurate and 100% client-side, with the governing formula and reference shown next to the result so the number can be defended, not just quoted.
About Centrifugal Force Calculator
Outward force on a rotating mass — balancing and guard design. The calculation implements F = m·ω²·r (Dynamics; ISO 21940 balancing). 100 g of unbalance at 150 mm and 3,000 rpm shakes with 148 N — ω² means doubling speed quadruples it. This is the entire case for balancing grades (ISO 21940 G6.3 etc.).

Frequently asked questions
What formula does the Centrifugal Force Calculator use?+
It computes F = m·ω²·r, per Dynamics; ISO 21940 balancing. The formula is displayed under the result along with a worked example substituted with your own inputs.
What should I keep in mind when using this calculator?+
100 g of unbalance at 150 mm and 3,000 rpm shakes with 148 N — ω² means doubling speed quadruples it. This is the entire case for balancing grades (ISO 21940 G6.3 etc.).
Is this suitable for machine design coursework?+
Yes — these are the exact Shigley/Machinery's-Handbook formulas, with the substitution shown step by step, so you can follow the worked example into your own calculation sheet.
Is the Centrifugal Force Calculator free to use?+
Yes — completely free, no sign-up, no limits. It runs client-side in your browser, so inputs stay private and results are instant even on slow connections.
