Convert torque (moment of force) between various units used in mechanical engineering, automotive applications, physics, and tool calibration. Whether you're dealing with an engine's torque in newton-meters or tightening bolts in pound-inches, this converter provides instant, accurate results.
Torque is a measure of the turning force on an object such as a bolt or a flywheel. In physics, it's called the "moment of force" and represents the rotational equivalent of linear force. The SI unit for torque is the newton-meter (N•m).
Mathematically, torque is calculated as: τ = r × F where τ is torque, r is the distance vector from the axis of rotation to the point of force application, and F is the force vector.
