About Torque

Torque is a measure of the rotational force applied to an object. It's calculated as the product of force and the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation.

τ = F × r

Where τ is torque, F is force, and r is the lever arm distance

Common Applications

Automotive: Engine torque specifications, wheel lug nuts
Manufacturing: Bolt tightening specifications
Aerospace: Critical fastener torque requirements
Machinery: Motor and gear specifications

HOW TO USE

Enter the torque value in your source unit and click Calculate. The tool instantly converts to all common torque units: N·m, lb·ft, lb·in, kgf·m, and oz·in.

FORMULA USED

N·m = 0.7376 lb·ft
N·m = 8.851 lb·in
N·m = 0.1020 kgf·m
lb·ft = 1.3558 N·m

WORKED EXAMPLE

An engine producing 200 lb·ft of torque: 200 × 1.3558 = 271.2 N·m. In kgf·m: 271.2 × 0.1020 = 27.6 kgf·m.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What is the most common torque unit?

A: Newton-meter (N·m) is the SI standard. Automotive industry often uses lb·ft. Mechanical engineering may use kgf·m.

Q: How do I convert lb·ft to N·m?

A: Multiply lb·ft by 1.3558 to get N·m. Example: 100 lb·ft = 135.58 N·m.

Q: What torque does a car engine produce?

A: Typical car engines produce 150-400 N·m. Performance cars may produce 500-1000 N·m. Heavy trucks 2000+ N·m.

Q: What is the torque of a human hand?

A: A firm hand grip can produce approximately 10-30 N·m of torque, depending on the person and tool used.
