In physics, the tendency of a force to rotate the body to which it is applied. Torque is always specified with regard to the axis of rotation. It is equal to the magnitude of the component of the force lying in the plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation, multiplied by the shortest distance between the axis and the direction of the force component. Torque is the force that affects rotational motion; the greater the torque, the greater the change in this motion

Twisting Rotational Force measured at a certain distance out from the center of the the main center shaft. In US it is ft.lbs or in/lbs. Foot for the distance our from the shaft and pounds for the force exerted by the motor at this distance. The farther the distance the less the force. Even though a motors output shaft may only be 2" the torque rating is still in ft/lbs, as though an imaginary arm was hooked up to the motor that was 12" long and the force was measured at this distance, while running.

The measure of the force applied to a member to produce rotational motion usually measured in foot-pounds. Torque is determined by multiplying the applied force by the distance from the pivot point to the point where the force is applied.

Twisting force, such as that exerted by a drive shaft turning a wheel. Units of torque are pounds-feet, the force exerted at a given radius from the axis of rotation.

It is a twisting force required for example to drive a pump shaft by motor shaft.
its unit is N-m (Newton meter). Based on the Torque we can calculate Energy required to drive the shaft of the pump by motor
as per the formula given below.
E(Energy)= t(torque) x Theta (Angle moved in radians)
Note: 1 radian = 57.29 degree
E=Energy in Joules
t=torque in Newton-meter
