Key Terminology
-
Ounce-force foot (ozf*ft)
-
A unit of torque representing one ounce-force applied at a lever arm of one foot, used for very small torque measurements.
-
Pound-force foot (lbf*ft)
-
A torque unit equal to the moment created by one pound-force applied perpendicular to a one-foot lever arm, commonly used in mechanics and engineering.
