Rotational force is usually spoken of as torque. Torque is a term we use to talk about a force that acts on a body to change its rate of rotation. It is the rotational equivalent of force in a linear motion system. A torque can arise from a single offset-applied force (using "inertial force" or "central bearing / pin force" to generate the balanced couple), from multiple applied forces, or when analyzing structures... from the slices of the structure outside the area of consideration. Roughly, it is a "force times a closest distance", even if that distance is to a point not on the structure under consideration. See the below link for formalism. In general, a torque does not produce linear displacement of the thing that is being "torqued", but nets to zero displacement over some length or some time. Technically, torque is the turning effect of a couple while moment of a force is the turning effect due to a single force but they are often interchanged. Torque is a type of force that causes an object to rotate.

The question is put too simply to answer as put. Basically torque is the ability of a motor to pull a load.

Answer

Torque is a rotational force. It is the product of a force (in newtons) and the perpendicular distance (in metres) between that force at the centre of rotation. Torque is expressed in newton metres.

A running torque is a series of rotations that keeps a load moving in hydraulics. It is the actual force used to make a rotation.

How do you measure the torque of a tightened bolt?

Experience. ----------------- If the bolt is horizontal : With weights, you can take a wrench of known length and knowing the torque needed, calculate the amount of weight needed to apply the proper torque to the wrench when it is horizontal. Otherwise you can only guess at it.


How do you calculate shaft power?

Shaft power P = (2(pi) * (angular Speed in rpm) * (Torque at shaft)/ 60 Torque of a solid shaft is given by (pi/16)* (Shear stress of material of shaft) * (Dia of shâft3).


How do you calculate torque on parallel gear?

Torque = Force x Distance eg i sit on a bench 2 metres from the left supporting force. I way 60kg. I am then creating a clockwise torque of 60 x 9.8 x 2 (9.8 because that is equal to gravity) so 60 x 9.8 is my weight force (force) which is 588 Newtons. To calculate torque I then multiply that by the distance of 2 metres. So i would be creating a torque of 1176Nm. P.S a common misconception is that a scale like the one in your bathroom measures weight. That's wrong, the scale measures mass. Weight is a force and must be measured in Newtons. That is why i multiplied by gravity (9.8). mass x gravity = weight.
