Torque is a movement force. Moment is a static force.
Torque is often presented as Nm/revolution and moment is typically presented as Nm.
The words "torque" and "moment" (of force) mean the same.

However, "torque" tends to be used when there is an axle or pivot to be turned around, while "moment" tends to be used in essentially non-rotational situations, such as analysis of forces on a beam.

What is the difference between torque and couple?

The turning effect of a force is called torque or moment of the force. SI unit of torque is Newton-Metre. T = FL i.e Torque = Force x Moment arm A couple is formed by two unlike parallel forces of the same magnitude but not along the same line.


What is the difference between dynamic torque and static torque ratings?

One difference between dynamic torque and static torque is the level of difficulty to measure. Static torque is each to measure, while dynamic torque is not. This is because it requires a transfer of an electric or magnetic effect.
