Convert pound force inch to newton meter
Pound-Force Inch
The pound-force inch (lbf·in) is a unit of torque or energy in the imperial system equal to one twelfth of a pound-force foot, approximately 0.112985 joules. It is widely used in mechanical engineering and manufacturing to specify the torque of small motors, screws, and precision instruments. Specifications for electric motors and hand tools commonly express torque limits in pound-force inches.
Newton-meter
The newton-meter (N·m) is the SI unit of torque (moment of force), defined as the torque resulting from a force of one newton applied perpendicularly at a distance of one meter from the pivot point. It is also the SI unit of energy (the joule), though in the context of rotational mechanics the newton-meter is kept distinct. The unit is named after Sir Isaac Newton and is fundamental in mechanical engineering and physics.
