Frequently Asked Questions

What is a newton-meter?

A newton-meter (N·m) is the SI unit of torque, representing the rotational force of one newton applied at one meter distance.

How do I convert ft·lb to N·m?

Multiply foot-pounds by 1.3558 to get newton-meters. For example, 100 ft·lb ≈ 135.58 N·m.

Why are torque specifications important?

Correct torque ensures proper fastener tension, preventing both loosening and damage from over-tightening.
