What does torque refer to when discussing an e-file?

Torque, when discussing an e-file, refers specifically to the amount of resistance the file experiences during use. It is the rotational force that the motor generates, allowing it to maintain its speed even when encountering resistance. This is particularly important in nail technology, as a well-designed e-file with sufficient torque provides better control and efficiency, allowing the nail technician to work more effectively with various materials, including hard gels or acrylics.

A file with inadequate torque may slow down or stall when applied to the nail, which can result in uneven work and potentially damage the nail or the file itself. Understanding torque helps nail technicians select the appropriate e-file for different applications, ensuring optimal performance and results in their services.
