Nm (newton-metre) is the SI unit for the vector quantity torque. In other countries, the units lbf·ft or lbf·in are commonly used.

1 Nm = 100 cNm = 0.73756217287925 lbf·ft

1 lbf.ft = 1.355818 Nm = 135.5818 cNm

Why is this important?

• The correct torque protects components, ensures secure screw connections and is safety-critical in many applications

Conversion factors for torque values

Conversion formula: Given unit × factor = Desired unit

Example:
Conversion from: 20 lbf.ft to Nm
20 × 1.356 = 27.12 Nm
