torque

This is an item that appears on a digital display for a rotating food packaging machine for Mexico. There is no context as to what part it refers to. My question is whether I should use "torque" or "par" in Mexican Spanish. (There are also displays that mention thermocouple and I am afraid "par" might be confused with "termopar".)
Is one of these better than the other for torque?
Any help is appreciated.

par
Hi, you should use "par", refering to "par de torsión" which is the complete translation of torque. Torque does not exist in Spanish although it is commonly used.

torque
The term "torque" in Spanish is widely used in Colombia at least. Both in the common engineering as in the highly technical environment. I can also attest it is used in the scientific environment (I am a physicist). The term is well defined and leaves no possibility for misinterpretation.
