# Torque

> Torque is the turning force the engine produces at the crankshaft, measured in newton-metres (Nm).

- **Also known as:** Döndürme momenti, Nm, Torque, Sıkma torku
- **Turkish term:** Tork

Power and torque are related by: **power (kW) = torque (Nm) × rpm ÷ 9,549**. For example, 10 Nm at 6,000 rpm equals about 6.3 kW (≈ 8.5 hp). High torque at low revs lets a motorcycle pull strongly without changing down.

In the workshop, "torque" also means the tightening value for bolts: apply the torque figures (Nm) from the manual with a torque wrench; overtightening can strip threads and undertightening lets them work loose.
