Torque Converter Online

Convert Torque Instantly Between Multiple Units

Torque is a crucial measurement in mechanical and engineering applications. It represents the rotational force applied to an object such as a bolt or rotating shaft. WebTooly.com's Online Torque Converter is a fast, accurate, and reliable web-based tool designed to help you convert torque values between various standard units.

Whether you're a mechanical engineer, automotive technician, physics student, or DIY enthusiast, our tool ensures precise conversions between:

• Newton meter (N·m) – The SI unit of torque.
• Kilogram-force meter (kgf·m) – Common in older mechanical systems.
• Pound-force foot (lbf·ft) – Widely used in the U.S. and automotive industries.
• Pound-force inch (lbf·in) – For smaller torque values.
• Dyne centimeter (dy·cm) – Used in scientific and laboratory settings.

What is Torque?

Torque (also called moment or turning force) is the measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis. The formula for torque is:

Torque (T) = Force (F) × Distance (r)

• SI Unit: Newton-meter (N·m)
• Other Units: kgf·m, dy·cm, lbf·ft, lbf·in

The direction of torque is determined using the right-hand rule.

Torque Conversion Units

Here are the most common torque units supported by this tool:

Unit Name	Abbreviation	Equivalent in N·m
Newton meter	N·m	1 N·m = 1 N × 1 m
Kilogram-force meter	kgf·m	1 kgf·m = 9.80665 N·m
Pound-foot	lbf·ft	1 lbf·ft = 1.35582 N·m
Pound-inch	lbf·in	1 lbf·in = 0.112985 N·m
Dyne centimeter	dy·cm	1 dy·cm = 1e-7 N·m

Frequently Asked Questions

What is torque used for?

Torque is used to measure rotational force in machines, engines, turbines, and even handheld tools like screwdrivers.

Is 1 Nm the same as 1 Joule?

They have the same units (N·m), but torque is a vector (rotational), while energy is scalar.

Can I convert torque in real time?

Yes. With WebTooly's online Torque Converter, your values are calculated instantly.

Is this tool free?

Yes, 100% free with no registration required.
