Torque Converter
Convert among six common torque units from a single input value.
AEO summary
A torque converter changes one torque value into multiple equivalent units such as N·m, lbf·ft, and kgf·cm.
Use this page when you need a fast answer for unit conversion between mechanical torque systems used in datasheets, tools, and maintenance documentation. It helps compare different unit conventions without manually applying conversion factors.
- Useful for engineering calculations, maintenance manuals, and torque wrench settings.
- Converts one input into six common torque units at the same time.
- Helps avoid mistakes when mixing SI, imperial, and kilogram-force based units.
Input Measurement
How to read the result: each output cell shows the same torque expressed in a different unit system, so the numbers should all represent the identical physical torque value.
When comparing tool settings or datasheets, confirm both the numeric value and the unit label before applying the converted result in the field.

dimensions, ratings, compatibility, and edition-specific details against the latest manufacturer literature or
applicable standard before purchase, replacement, or installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you convert torque units like N·m to lbf·ft?
Torque unit conversion uses fixed conversion factors between units such as newton-metres, pound-force feet, pound-force inches, kilogram-force centimetres, and kilogram-force metres.
What torque units does this converter support?
This converter supports N·m, kgf·cm, kgf·m, lbf·in, lbf·ft, and ozf·in from a single input value.
Torque Unit Conversion in Engineering
Torque, the rotational equivalent of linear force, is measured in various unit systems globally. The SI unit is the Newton-metre (N·m), while imperial systems use pound-force feet (lbf·ft) or pound-force inches (lbf·in). Accurate unit conversion is critical in motor selection, fastener specification, and mechanical system design.
Conversion Constants
All conversions are derived from the SI base unit N·m using high-precision constants: 1 N·m = 10.19716 kgf·cm = 0.101972 kgf·m = 8.85075 lbf·in = 0.737562 lbf·ft = 141.612 ozf·in.
