By Andrew Zimmerman Jones. Definition: Torque is the tendency of a force to cause or change rotational motion of a body. Torque is calculated by multiplying Force and distance, so the SI units of torque are newton-meters, or N*m (even though this is the same as joules, torque isn't work or energy, so should just be newton-meters).
Torque, or the turning and twisting effort of the force of the motor, is expressed in in.-lb or ft-lb (Nm). Three different types of torque exist. Breakaway torque is normally used to define the minimum torque required to start a motor with no load.
