Torque Facts

Torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force.

1 Newton-meter is the force of 1 Newton applied to a 1-meter long lever.

Car engines use torque to accelerate; horsepower determines top speed.

Lug nuts on a standard car typically require 100-120 Nm of torque.

Archimedes famously said, 'Give me a lever long enough... and I shall move the world.'

Electric motors produce maximum torque instantly from zero RPM.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you convert Nm to ft-lbs?

To convert Newton-meters (Nm) to foot-pounds (ft-lbs), multiply your Nm value by 0.73756. For example, 100 Nm = 73.75 ft-lbs.

What is torque vs horsepower?

Torque is the turning force (grunt), while horsepower is the rate at which work is done (speed).

Is kg-m the same as Nm?

No. 1 kg-m is roughly 9.81 Nm. kg-m is common in older European engine specs.
