# motorMaximumTorque

The maximum torque that the joint can apply to its connected bodies, in newton-meters.

## Declaration

```swift
var motorMaximumTorque: CGFloat { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion When you change the value of the motorTargetAngularVelocity property, the joint continuously applies a force of no greater than this magnitude until the bodies are rotating around the joint at the target angular velocity. The default value is 1.0.
