Torque is one of the most important mechanical concepts that defines how much rotational force an engine, tool, or machine can produce. From tightening bolts to powering vehicles, torque affects performance, efficiency, speed, and safety.
However, torque is measured differently across industries and countries:
Newton-meters (Nm)
Pound-feet (lb-ft)
Kilogram-force centimeters (kgf·cm)
Kilogram-force meters (kgf·m)
Inch-pounds (lb-in)
The Free Torque Converter by AlllinTools provides instant and accurate conversions between all major torque units — enabling automotive professionals, engineers, mechanics, and students to make informed decisions without manual calculations.
One tool for every torque measurement scenario.
Torque = Force × Distance
It measures how much twisting force is applied to rotate an object.
Examples of torque in daily life:
Opening a tight jar lid
Turning a wrench
Engine rotating a car wheel
Wind turning a turbine blade
Torque determines how powerful the rotation is —
Higher torque = stronger pull or acceleration
That’s why car advertisements often highlight torque for performance.
Torque is everywhere — from home devices to high-performance engineering.
| Region | Default Torque Unit |
|---|---|
| USA | lb-ft (pound-foot) |
| Europe & Asia | Nm (Newton-meter) |
⚠️ Misinterpreting torque causes:
❌ Engine performance confusion
❌ Wrong tool selection
❌ Damaged bolts or machinery
❌ Unsafe assembly operations
❌ Slower manufacturing & repair
Accurate conversion = better safety + better engineering decisions
📌 Convert Nm → lb-ft
lb-ft = Nm × 0.737562
📌 Convert lb-ft → Nm
Nm = lb-ft × 1.35582
📌 Convert Nm → kgf·m
kgf·m = Nm ÷ 9.80665
📌 Convert Nm → lb-in
lb-in = Nm × 8.85075
Example:
Torque wrench specification: 100 Nm
→ 100 × 0.737562 = 73.76 lb-ft
| Newton-meter (Nm) | Pound-foot (lb-ft) | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| 10 Nm | 7.38 lb-ft | Small tools |
| 50 Nm | 36.88 lb-ft | Standard wrench settings |
| 100 Nm | 73.76 lb-ft | Car wheel lug nuts |
| 200 Nm | 147.51 lb-ft | SUV/truck torque |
| 500 Nm | 368.78 lb-ft | Performance vehicles |
Torque knowledge = Confidence in machinery operation
Torque is influenced by:
📌 Force applied
📌 Lever length
📌 Angle of application
Example:
Longer wrench ⇒ More torque with same effort
→ Easier to loosen tight bolts
Understanding torque helps avoid over-tightening & hardware damage.
