Technology / Motorcycle / Torque: Torque is a turning or twisting force applied at a distance from the axis of the object. Thus, if you apply a 100 pound force to the end of a 3-foot wrench placed on a nut, you are applying 300 pound-feet of torque.

Technology / Motors / Pull-Up Torque: The minimum torque developed by an AC motor during the period of acceleration from zero to the speed at which breakdown occurs. For motors which do not have a definite breakdown torque, the pull-up to MORE
Technology / Motors / Starting Torque: The torque or twisting force delivered by a motor at the instant it is energized. Starting torque is often higher than rated running or full load torque. MORE
Technology / Motors / Variable Torque: A multi-speed motor used on loads whose torque requirements vary with speed as in some centrifugal pumps and blowers. The HP varies as the square of the speed. MORE
Technology / Motors / Locked Rotor Torque: The minimum torque that a motor will develop at rest for all angular positions of the rotor (with rated voltage applied at rated frequency). MORE
Technology / Motors / Pull-In Torque: The maximum constant torque which a synchronous motor will accelerate into synchronism at rated voltage and frequency. MORE
