TORQUE: What is "torque"? Definition: The moment of force producing or tending to produce rotation or torsion. Definition Copyright ©1989 Technomic Publishing Company, Inc. All rights reserved. Definition: The product of a force and its perpendicular distance from a point about which it causes rotation or torsion. The unit of torque is the newton metre, a vector product, unlike the joule, also equal to a newton metre, which is a scalar product.
