Force density

Variable for comparing drives involving different energy forms which specifies the transferable drive power per unit for the respective effective surface area in N/cm2.

It is highly suitable for comparative investigations, since it makes it possible to draw conclusions regarding the compactness of various types of drives offering the same power (Table K 1).
