All conversions use newton-metre as the base unit.
Torque (or moment) is a rotational force that causes an object to spin or turn around an axis, measured in units like Newton-metres (N·m) and pound-feet (lb-ft). Different industries and regions use different torque units: automotive specs often list lb-ft, mechanical engineering uses N·m, and Japanese tooling may specify kg·cm. A torque converter bridges these standards, letting you convert between all common units instantly.
The converter multiplies your input value by the appropriate conversion factor based on the units you're translating between. For example, to convert N·m to lb-ft, the tool multiplies by approximately 0.7376; to convert lb-ft to N·m, it multiplies by 1.3558. Simply enter your torque value, select the starting unit, choose your target unit, and the result updates immediately.
Output = Input × Conversion FactorThe conversion factor is a fixed multiplier unique to each pair of units. For instance: 1 N·m = 0.7376 lb-ft; 1 lb-ft = 1.3558 N·m; 1 N·m = 10.197 kg·cm; 1 kg·cm = 0.0981 N·m.
| Input | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 50 lb-ft | 67.79 N·m | A typical motorcycle engine crankshaft torque spec, converted to SI units for international documentation. |
| 100 N·m | 73.76 lb-ft | A car wheel lug nut torque specification, converted to imperial for technicians working with foot-pound wrenches. |
| 200 kg·cm | 19.62 N·m | Japanese tool or industrial assembly spec, converted to the global standard Newton-metre. |
Both measure torque (rotational force). 1 lb-ft = 1.3558 N·m. Newton-metres are used globally in engineering and automotive specs; pound-feet are common in North America. The tool converts between them instantly.
No. This tool converts torque only. Power depends on both torque and rotational speed (RPM). To convert power units, use a separate power converter.
Regional standards: many older or North American specs use imperial units, while modern and imported vehicles often use metric. Use this converter to translate the spec to match your wrench's scale.
No. 50 N·m equals about 36.88 lb-ft, and 50 lb-ft equals about 67.79 N·m. Always convert to confirm the actual value.
Kilogram-centimetres are common in Japanese automotive and industrial tool specifications. 1 kg·cm = 0.0981 N·m, a much smaller unit than N·m or lb-ft.
Yes. Ounce-inches (oz·in) measure small torques for delicate fasteners and instruments. 1 oz·in = 0.00707 N·m or 0.00522 lb-ft. This converter handles all common torque units.
