Newton Meter [N·m]

Newton meter (N·m) is the standard SI unit of torque, measuring the rotational force applied to an object around an axis. It combines force in newtons (N) with distance in meters (m) from the axis of rotation. One newton meter represents the torque generated when a force of one newton is applied perpendicularly at a distance of one meter from the rotation axis. This unit is widely used in physics, mechanical engineering, automotive design, robotics, and industrial applications to quantify torque, rotational performance, and mechanical efficiency. A higher N·m value indicates stronger torque and greater ability to cause angular acceleration, while a lower value signifies less rotational force. Engineers and designers use this measure to calculate torque requirements, optimize machinery, ensure component stability, and prevent mechanical failure. By linking force and rotational distance, newton meter provides a practical, precise, and universally recognized standard for analyzing and managing torque in a variety of mechanical, industrial, and scientific applications.

Ounce-Force Foot [ozf·ft]

Ounce-force foot (ozf·ft) is a unit of torque or moment of force used to measure rotational force in situations requiring finer precision than pound-force foot (lbf·ft) but larger than ounce-force inch (ozf·in). It represents the torque generated when a force of one ounce-force (ozf) is applied at a distance of one foot (ft) from a pivot point. This unit is particularly useful in mechanical engineering, instrumentation, and small-scale mechanical systems where moderate torques are involved.

Ounce-force foot is valuable for quantifying torque in applications such as small machinery, instrument calibration, or assembly of mechanical devices where precise control of rotational force is critical. It helps ensure components are tightened or adjusted correctly without causing damage or failure.

While the newton-meter (N·m) is the SI unit for torque and the pound-force foot (lbf·ft) is common for larger forces, the ounce-force foot unit fits niche applications that require intermediate torque measurements within the imperial system. For reference, 1 ozf·ft equals approximately 0.00885 newton-meters.
