Now much toque needed to crush a can?

Question

We are looking for a motor to crush a can but we need the torque.

Answer

An all aluminum can will support 210 pounds before collapsing, a one-piece tin plated steel can can support 335 pounds before collapsing and a seamed steel can will support 645 pounds before collapsing. Therefore a successful beverage can crusher must be capable of producing initial crushing force of more than 645 pounds.
Torque should be about 475 to 500 ft pounds.

Answer

Crush force is a linear measure and torque is a rotary measure. To get from one to the other involves a gear ratio or mechanical advantage. You should study basic physics until you understand those things well enough to compute the answer you want.
