Torque

physics, torque is the tendency of a force to turn or twist. If a force is used to begin to spin an object, or to stop an object from spinning, a torque is...

A torque converter, or torque multiplier, is a device for multiplying torque. It is widely used in transmission systems for road and rail vehicles with...

simply foot-pound (symbol: ft·lb), is a unit of energy and also a unit of torque. By definition it is one foot times one pound-force. As a unit of energy...

mechanics, torsion is the twisting of an object that is result of an applied torque. In circular sections, the resultant shearing stress is perpendicular to...

handle to be held by a person's hand. As the handle is rotated, it creates a torque that turns the tip via the screwdriver's shaft. There are many different...

to a type of electric motor. A traction motor is used to make rotation torque on a machine. It is usually changed into a straight line motion. Traction...

fuel they burn. They also make lots of torque (pronounced "tork"), or twisting power. An engine with a lot of torque will be able to spin its shaft even...

written with hyphen newton-metre. It is a compound unit of torque corresponding to the torque from a force of one newton applied over a distance arm of...

alternative to a mechanical clutch. It is simpler than a torque converter, but it does not provide any torque multiplication, so it must be used together with...

assembling railway trains. Switchers or shunters are geared to produce high torque but have a low top speed. This short article about transport can be made...

of this arrangement was to enable the main engines to deliver very high torque at low crankshaft speed. This short article about transport can be made...

rotating at the same speed. This helps when the torque applied to the shaft changes often. Uneven torque can change the speed of rotation. Because the flywheel...

advantage also rotates the chuck with more torque. More torque on chuck means more torque on the bit. More torque on the bit means there is more force pushing...

wind. This turns a shaft turning slowly, at about 10-20 rpm with a high torque. The shaft goes into a reduction gearbox with a ratio of about 1:50, although...

electric machine (motor or generator) that rotates. It rotates because of the torque developed by wires and magnetic field inside the machine. Stator This short...

engine. The engine made 492 PS (362 kW; 485 hp) and 580 N⋅m (428 lbf⋅ft) of torque. The Diablo could accelerate 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in about 4.5 seconds. It...

variable-frequency drive (VFD) is a device used to control the speed and torque of an AC motor by changing the motor input frequency and voltage. VFDs are...
