Ideal Mechanical Advantage Calculator

Posted by Dinesh on

The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) is the mechanical advantage of a device with the assumption that its components do not flex, there is no friction, and there is no wear. It is calculated using the physical dimensions of the device and defines the maximum performance the device can achieve.

Ideal Mechanical Advantage Calculation

Formula:

IMA = Fout ÷ Fin

Where,
Fout = force out,
Fin = force in,
IMA = Ideal mechanical advantage
