Question 1

What is ounce-force foot?

Accepted Answer

Small imperial torque: 1 ozf·ft = 0.08474 N·m. Used for light-duty fasteners and small mechanisms.

Question 2

How do you convert ozf·ft to N·m?

Accepted Answer

Multiply by 0.084738. Example: 10 ozf·ft = 0.847 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.
