Newton-meters to Foot-pounds
Convert Newton-meters to foot-pounds instantly. Free Nm to ft·lb torque calculator for automotive, engineering, and mechanical work.
Newton-meters (N·m) to foot-pounds (ft·lbs) is an essential conversion for mechanics, engineers, and automotive enthusiasts. One N·m = 0.737562 ft·lb. Torque specifications in car manuals from European manufacturers are in N·m; US service manuals use ft·lbs. Lug nut torque: most passenger cars require 80–120 N·m (59–89 ft·lbs); truck lug nuts may require 150–200 N·m (111–148 ft·lbs). Engine output: a 300 N·m engine produces 221 ft·lbs of torque. Bicycle components: carbon fiber seatposts are often torqued to 4–6 N·m (3–4.4 ft·lbs) using a torque wrench to prevent cracking. Power tool settings: electric impact wrenches list output in both N·m and ft·lbs for international compatibility.
