Torque Converter

Physics considers torque as the rotational analogue of linear force. It can be also called the moment of force and describes how an angular momentum for an isolated body changes.

This concept is known since Archimedes’ time when the levers appeared. If a linear force is applied directly to a body, a torque is a kind of twist applied from some point.

According to the definition, it is the force multiplied by the distance of its line of action. It is designated with the letter τ.

The calculation itself is quite simple and the formula for this value looks as follows:

τ = r x F

The standard unit is a newton-meter (N⋅m). It was applied traditionally and has not been changed. In addition, in the USA and other countries, one may encounter the pound foot (lbf-ft) unit as a usual option and the pound inch (lbf-in) for tiny values.

In such a case, a special Torque conversion formula will be required that utilized the ratio between all these units.
