What is the difference between torque and power?

Torque is rotational force (N·m); power is how fast that force does work (kW or hp). Power = torque × angular speed.

Is N·m the same as kgf·m?

No. 1 kgf·m ≈ 9.81 N·m because it uses the force of 1 kg under gravity. They are close but not equal.

When do I use lbf·ft?

US automotive and engineering specs commonly quote engine and fastener torque in pound-force feet.

What is the difference between torque and power?

Torque is rotational force (N m), power is how fast work is done (kW or hp). Power = torque times angular velocity.

Are N m and kgf m the same?

No. 1 kgf m is about 9.81 N m (by 1 kg of gravity), so the numbers are close but not equal.

Crank torque checks.

Torque (moment of force) measures the rotational effect of force times lever arm, with the international unit newton-meter (N m).

N m: international standard.

lbf ft: imperial, common in US automotive and machinery.

kgf m: kilogram-force meter, old system, 1 kgf m is about 9.80665 N m.

N cm: small torque, 1 N m = 100 N cm.

All units are linearly converted to N m first, then to the target unit.
