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.

Inch [lbf·in]

Pound-force inch, abbreviated as lbf·in, is a unit of torque in the Imperial system. It measures the rotational force applied at a distance of one inch from a pivot point. Torque represents the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis, and lbf·in is commonly used in mechanical engineering, automotive applications, and machinery design to quantify small to medium torque values. One lbf·in corresponds to applying a force of one pound-force at a perpendicular distance of one inch from the rotation axis. For example, tightening a bolt with a torque wrench set to 50 lbf·in means applying a force that produces 50 pound-force inches of rotational effort. This unit is particularly useful for fasteners, small motors, and mechanical assemblies where precise torque is crucial to prevent over-tightening or under-tightening. While larger torque values are often measured in pound-force feet (lbf·ft) or Newton-meters (N·m), lbf·in provides a convenient scale for tasks requiring finer control. Understanding lbf·in ensures safe and effective mechanical operation, proper assembly of components, and accurate measurement of rotational forces in engineering and industrial applications.
