Ton-Force (Short) Meter [tonf·m]


Ton-force (short) meter (tonf·m) is a unit of torque that measures the rotational force produced when one short ton-force is applied perpendicularly at a distance of one meter from the axis of rotation. A short ton-force, commonly used in the United States, equals 2,000 pounds-force. This unit is useful in large-scale engineering, construction, and industrial applications where substantial forces are involved, such as cranes, heavy machinery, and structural components. A higher tonf·m value indicates greater rotational force and the ability to generate more torque or angular acceleration, while a lower value represents less force. Engineers use this unit to calculate torque requirements, optimize mechanical performance, and ensure safety and stability in systems subjected to high loads. By combining large force and rotational distance, ton-force meter provides a practical and precise measure for analyzing, designing, and managing rotational dynamics in heavy-duty mechanical and industrial applications.

Kilogram-Force Meter [kgf·m]


Kilogram-force meter (kgf·m) is a unit of torque that measures rotational force when a force of one kilogram-force is applied perpendicularly at a distance of one meter from the axis of rotation. One kilogram-force represents the force exerted by a mass of one kilogram under standard gravity. This unit is widely used in mechanical engineering, machinery design, and industrial applications to calculate torque in systems where rotational force plays a key role. A higher kgf·m value indicates a stronger torque and greater ability to cause angular acceleration, while a lower value signifies less rotational force. Engineers use this measure to design machinery, determine torque requirements for engines, motors, and mechanical drives, and ensure the stability and efficiency of rotating systems. By linking force and rotational distance, kilogram-force meter provides a practical and straightforward way to analyze and manage torque in mechanical, industrial, and engineering applications.
