About the torque converter

Convert torque between N·m (SI), lb·ft, lb·in, kgf·m, and kgf·cm. Torque is the rotational equivalent of force, calculated as force times the perpendicular distance to the rotation axis. Bolt torque specs, engine output, and motor ratings all use these units.

Frequently asked questions

  • How many N·m is 1 lb·ft?

    One pound-foot equals approximately 1.3558 N·m.

  • How many lb·in is 1 lb·ft?

    Exactly 12 lb·in (since 1 ft = 12 in).

  • How is torque different from horsepower?

    Torque measures rotational force; horsepower measures the rate of doing rotational work. Power = torque × angular velocity.

  • What is the SI unit of torque?

    The newton-meter (N·m).
