A torque converter is a device used in automatic transmissions of vehicles to transfer and multiply torque (rotational force) from the engine to the transmission. It serves a crucial role in allowing a smooth and continuous connection between the engine and the wheels while enabling the vehicle to idle and shift gears without stalling the engine.
Units of torque include newton-meters, inch-pounds, and foot-pounds.
| Convert from | Newton-meter | Inch-pound | Foot-pound |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 newton-meter = | 1 Nm | 8.850746 lb-in | 8.850746 lb-in |
| 1 inch-pound = | 0.112985 Nm | 1 lb-in | 0.083333 lb-ft |
| 1 foot-pound = | 1.355818 Nm | 12 lb-in | 1 lb-ft |
