Torque
Torque is "the magnitude of force, torsional moment (turning or twisting force) that acts on an object when it rotates". Torque is the result of force multiplied by distance, and is defined as force (F) x distance (L) = torque (N), and the unit of torque is expressed in "N-m (Newton meter)".
The greater the distance to the point of force action, the greater the torque will be for the same amount of force (F). This is the same as the "The Principle of Leverage". For example, when turning a door handle to open a door, the longer the handle, the easier it is to open the door. If the same torque is required, a longer distance (L) from the point of action will result in a smaller force (F).
We perform actions that generate torque on a daily basis, such as opening the lid of a plastic bottle or turning the dial of a car air conditioner. Therefore, on site of product development and quality control of companies, measurement of torque values is commonly used as one indicator to check the usability and safety of products.
Unit of Torque Newton-meter (N-m)
In Japan, the Measurement Act requires that "N-m (Newton-meter)" and "N-cm (Newton-centimeter)" be used as the unit of torque (moment of force). In other countries, the units kgf-m (kilogram-force meter) and lbf-in (pound-inch) are used.
(Example) 1N-m = 100N-cm
1N-m ≒ 0.1kgf-m
1N-m ≒ 8.85lbf-in (1in = 0.254m)
