Understanding Newton Meters (N⋅m)

What is a Newton Meter?

A newton meter (N⋅m) is the SI unit for torque, representing the rotational force needed to rotate an object. One newton meter equals the torque produced by a force of one newton applied perpendicularly at a distance of one meter from the axis of rotation.

Common Applications

• Automotive torque specifications
• Industrial machinery calibration
• Robotics and automation
• Scientific measurements

Newton Meters vs. Joules

While both newton meters (N⋅m) and joules (J) share the same units mathematically, they measure different things. Newton meters measure torque (rotational force), while joules measure energy or work done.
