Constructions légères

Lightweight construction methods have gained acceptance over the past few decades. The use of modern materials like aluminium and plastic has yielded excellent results. The power-to-weight ratio is the key value here.

                       delivered power P2 (W)
Power to weight ratio=                       
                       machine weight (kg)

The power-to-weight ratio of for example an angle grinder is:

                       2000 W
Power to weight ratio =        = 476,2 W/kg
                       4,2 kg
