Pound-Force Foot [lbf·ft]

Pound-force foot (lbf·ft) is a unit of torque or moment of force commonly used in the United States and other countries that employ the imperial system. It measures the rotational force applied at a distance of one foot from a pivot point. Specifically, it represents the torque produced when a force of one pound-force (lbf) is applied perpendicular to a lever arm that is one foot (ft) long.

This unit is widely used in mechanical engineering, automotive industries, and machinery design to quantify twisting forces that cause rotation. For example, when tightening bolts, the torque applied is often specified in lbf·ft to ensure proper fastening without over-tightening. Similarly, engine torque ratings are frequently expressed in pound-force feet, indicating the rotational force an engine can generate.

While the SI unit of torque is the newton-meter (N·m), lbf·ft remains popular in practical applications within the imperial system due to familiarity and ease of use. To convert, 1 lbf·ft equals approximately 1.356 N·m.

Newton Millimeter [N·mm]

Newton millimeter (N·mm) is a unit of torque that measures the rotational force applied when a force of one newton is exerted perpendicularly at a distance of one millimeter from the axis of rotation. It is especially useful for very small-scale or high-precision applications, such as micro-mechanical systems, electronics, robotics, and laboratory instruments, where tiny forces need accurate measurement. A higher N·mm value indicates greater torque and more resistance to rotation, while a lower value represents less rotational force and easier motion. Engineers, designers, and researchers use this unit to calculate torque, angular acceleration, and energy requirements for miniature components like micro-gears, motors, sensors, and precision instruments. By combining force with very small rotational distances, newton millimeter provides a practical and precise measure for managing and analyzing torque in compact or highly sensitive mechanical systems, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and stability in delicate applications.
