# frictionTorque

The resistance applied by the pin joint to spinning around the anchor point.

## Declaration

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

## Mentioned in

Pinning and Rotating Physics Bodies

## Discussion

Discussion The range of values is from 0.0 to 1.0. The default value is 0.0. If a value greater than the default is specified, friction is applied to reduce the object’s angular velocity around the pin.
