Torque Converters
Convert between torque units used in engineering, automotive fastener specs, drivetrain calculations, and machine design. This hub treats torque as rotational force (moment) and applies exact multiplicative factors anchored to newton-meters.
Explanation
Torque is the rotational effect of force applied at a distance from an axis (moment). This hub normalizes every factor through newton-meters (N·m) to keep mirror conversions stable and reversible. Included units span SI (N·m), imperial/US customary (lbf·ft, lbf·in), and metric gravimetric forms (kgf·m, kgf·cm). All relationships are fixed multiplicative scale changes with no additive offsets.
Torque converters are grouped into directional families so each leaf keeps one stable conversion model.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is torque?
Torque is rotational force (moment), defined as force applied at a distance from an axis.
What is the SI unit of torque?
The SI unit is the newton-meter (N·m).
Are torque conversions multiplicative?
Yes. These conversions are purely multiplicative with no additive offsets.
How are lbf·ft and lbf·in related?
Exactly: 1 lbf·ft = 12 lbf·in.
