What is Torque?
Torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force. It measures how much a force acting on an object causes that object to rotate.
How do I convert N·m to ft·lb?
Multiply the torque value in Newton-meters (N·m) by approximately 0.73756 to get Foot-pounds (ft·lb).
What is the difference between lb·ft and ft·lb?
They are often used interchangeably to denote torque (pound-feet or foot-pounds). However, physics convention often uses 'lb·ft' for torque and 'ft·lb' for work/energy, but in automotive contexts, 'ft·lb' is standard for torque.
Is in·lb the same as lbf·in?
Yes, 'in·lb' (inch-pounds) and 'lbf·in' (pound-force inch) refer to the same unit of torque.
Understanding Torque Units
- Newton-meter (N·m): The SI derived unit of torque.
- Foot-pound (ft·lb): Common imperial unit used in US automotive industries.
- Inch-pound (in·lb): Used for smaller fasteners and precision work.
- Kilogram-force meter (kgf·m): Metric legacy unit, still found in some specifications.
