Are engine torque and rotational force the same?
1 Answers
Engine torque and rotational force refer to the same concept. Engine torque: It is a specific indicator of an engine's acceleration capability, referring to the work done by the piston's reciprocating motion in the cylinder during one cycle, measured in Newton-meters (Nm). At a constant angular velocity, greater torque results in higher power output, meaning the engine delivers stronger driving force to the wheels, thus enhancing the vehicle's acceleration performance. Maximum engine torque: This refers to the average moment output from the crankshaft during engine operation, commonly known as the engine's "rotational force". The magnitude of torque is related to engine speed. For engines with equal power output, different speeds produce different torque values - higher speeds generally yield lower torque, while lower speeds produce greater torque.
