Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert kilogram-force metres (kgf·m) to pound-feet (lb-ft)?

Enter the torque value in kilogram-force metres (kgf·m) above. The converter applies the established conversion factor and returns the equivalent value in pound-feet (lb-ft).

Are torque and energy the same thing?

No. Torque describes a rotational effect of force, while energy describes the capacity to do work. Some units may look similar, but the physical quantities are different.

Can I convert in the opposite direction?

Yes. Use the reverse conversion link provided on this page.
