Frequently Asked Questions

What does the unit pound-force foot measure?
It measures torque as the moment produced by a one pound-force applied perpendicular to a one foot lever arm, commonly used in the imperial system.

When should I use newton centimeter as a torque unit?
Newton centimeter is used for measuring small torque values, such as in electronics assembly, hobby servos, and precision instruments.

Why is it important to convert between lbf*ft and N*cm?
Conversion allows translating torque values from US customary units into metric units for use in diverse fields like automotive engineering and precision manufacturing.

Key Terminology

Pound-force foot (lbf*ft)
A unit of torque equal to the moment produced by a one pound-force applied perpendicular to a one foot lever arm, used in the imperial system.
Newton centimeter (N*cm)
A metric unit of torque equal to the moment produced by one newton applied perpendicular to a one centimetre lever arm; equivalent to 0.01 newton metre.
Torque
The measure of rotational force, calculated as force multiplied by distance.
