Question 1

What is kilonewton-meter?

Accepted Answer

A large torque unit: 1 kN·m = 1000 N·m. Used for large machinery, industrial equipment, and heavy vehicles.

Question 2

How do you convert kN·m to N·m?

Accepted Answer

Multiply by 1000. Example: 5 kN·m = 5000 N·m.

Question 3

Why are torque specs important?

Accepted Answer

Correct torque ensures proper clamping force. Too loose causes loosening/failure. Too tight causes stretching, stripping, or component damage.

Question 4

What's the difference between torque and force?

Accepted Answer

Force is a straight push/pull. Torque is rotational force: torque = force × distance from pivot. Same force at longer distance = more torque.
