About Torque Units
Newton-meter (N·m)
The SI unit of torque, representing the torque resulting from a one Newton force applied perpendicularly to a one meter moment arm.
Foot-pound (ft·lb)
An imperial unit of torque commonly used in the United States, representing the torque resulting from a one pound-force applied at a one foot radius.
Kilogram-force meter (kgf·m)
A metric unit of torque where one kilogram-force is applied at a one meter radius. Commonly used in some engineering applications.
Applications
- Automotive: Measuring engine torque output
- Mechanical Engineering: Bolt tightening specifications
- Industrial: Motor and machinery torque ratings
- Physics: Rotational dynamics calculations
