Torque Converter

What is Torque?

Torque is the measure of rotational force applied to an object, such as a shaft or lever.

It describes how much twisting force is applied to cause rotation.

Common units include Newton-meters (Nm), pound-feet (lb-ft), and kilogram-meters (kg-m).

 

 Why Use a Torque Converter?

• Quickly switch between Nm, lb-ft, kg-m, and other units.
• Useful for mechanical engineering, automotive, and industrial applications.
