Friction torque refers to the torque that opposes the motion of a rotating object due to friction between surfaces in contact. It is a crucial concept in mechanics and engineering, particularly when analyzing systems involving rotating machinery, such as motors, gears, and bearings. When two surfaces come into contact and one attempts to move relative to the other, frictional forces act at the interface. This can produce a torque that resists this relative motion.
