About the moment of force converter

Convert moment of force (also called torque) between N·m (SI), lb·ft, lb·in, kgf·m, and other units. Moment of force is the rotational effect of a force applied at a distance from a pivot — used in mechanical engineering, structural design, and fastener torque specifications.

Frequently asked questions

  • How many N·m is 1 lb·ft?

    One pound-foot equals approximately 1.3558 N·m.

  • How many N·m is 1 lb·in?

    One pound-inch equals approximately 0.11298 N·m.

  • Is moment of force the same as torque?

    Yes — they share the same units and formula. “Torque” is more common in rotating-machinery contexts; “moment” is more common in static structural analysis.

  • What is the SI unit of moment of force?

    The newton-meter (N·m).
