Description
The BodyAngularVelocity object applies a [torque][1] (or rotational force) on a BasePart such that it maintains a constant [angular velocity][3] as determined by its AngularVelocity property. This allows for the creation of parts that continually rotate. It is the rotational counterpart to a BodyVelocity. If you would like to maintain a constant [angular displacement][2], use a BodyGyro instead.

AngularVelocity
| Type | Default | |
|---|---|---|
| Vector3 | 0, 2, 0 | |
The AngularVelocity property is a Vector3 which determines the
goal angular velocity a BodyAngularVelocity should maintain
through the exertion of torque. For this property, the direction of the
vector is the axis of rotation. The magnitude is the angular velocity in
radians per second. By default, this property is (0, 2, 0).
Tip: You can multiply a Vector3 by math.rad(360),
or 2π, in order to convert [angular frequency][5] (rotations per
second) into the desired [angular velocity][3] (radians per second). For
example: Setting
AngularVelocity to
Vector3.new(0, 1, 0) * math.rad(360) ≈ Vector3.new(0, 6.283, 0) will
cause a part to spin around the Y axis once per second.

MaxTorque
| Type | Default | |
|---|---|---|
| Vector3 | 4000, 4000, 4000 | |
The MaxTorque property determines the limit of the torque that may be exerted on each world axis. If a part isn't moving, consider raising this value (and also check that it is not Anchored or attached to another anchored part). See also P (power).

P
| Type | Default | |
|---|---|---|
| float | 1250 | |
The P property determines how much power is used while applying torque in order to reach the goal AngularVelocity. The higher this value, the more power will be used and the faster it will be used.

maxTorque
| Type | Default | |
|---|---|---|
| Vector3 | 4000, 4000, 4000 | |
The maxTorque property is a deprecated variant of BodyAngularVelocity.MaxTorque that lets you set how much force could be applied to each axis.
