Online Engineering Calculators


RoyMech provides a growing collection of free online engineering calculators for mechanical, structural and manufacturing applications. The calculators have been developed using recognised engineering equations and are intended to provide quick solutions for design, checking and educational use.

All calculators support both metric and imperial units where appropriate and include the engineering equations used together with practical guidance.

Engineering Calculator Categories

The calculators are organised into subject areas to make it easy to locate the correct engineering tool.

Beam Calculators

Calculate reactions, shear forces, bending moments and beam deflections for a wide range of loading conditions including simply supported beams, cantilever beams, fixed beams and overhanging beams. Calculators are based on Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and include both metric and imperial outputs.

Bolt & Fastener Calculators

Engineering calculators for bolted joints including tightening torque, preload, proof load, tensile stress, shear stress and bolt strength calculations based on recognised engineering practice.
