What Is the Torque Converter?

The Torque Converter translates rotational force through newton-meters. It includes SI, gravitational and US customary combinations for common fastener, engine and mechanical specifications.

How It Works

Enter torque, select the original and desired units and review the complete equivalent table. Use the report exports for a work order or worksheet.

When to Use It

Use it for fastener specifications, automotive work, motors, shafts and mechanical design.
