What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to transform torque measurements from gram-force centimeters, a non-SI unit used in fine mechanical contexts, into micronewton meters, an SI-derived unit suited for very small torque values common in microengineering and precision fields.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the torque value in gram-force centimeters you want to convert.
  • Select gram-force centimeter as the input unit and micronewton meter [µN*m] as the output unit.
  • Click the convert button to get the equivalent torque value in micronewton meters.

Key Features

  • Converts moment of force values between gram-force centimeters and micronewton meters.
  • Supports precision torque measurements used in microengineering, watchmaking, and laboratory research.
  • Offers easy-to-use browser-based interface suitable for both professionals and educators.
  • Facilitates translation of legacy torque units into SI-compatible measurements.

Examples

  • 2 Gram-force centimeters converts to 196.133 Micronewton meters.
  • 0.5 Gram-force centimeters converts to 49.03325 Micronewton meters.

Common Use Cases

  • Calibrating and specifying small torques in precision instruments like watches.
  • Characterizing torque in small motors, servos, or fine mechanical linkages.
  • Measuring torsional stiffness and torque output in MEMS devices and microactuators.
  • Testing micro-scale torque sensors including torsion balances and AFM cantilevers.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure accurate input values to avoid errors in conversion results.
  • Use this tool to translate non-SI torque units to standard SI units for engineering comparability.
  • Apply conversions for very small torque measurements where precision is critical.
  • Cross-check measurements when working near instrument sensitivity limits.

Limitations

  • Gram-force centimeter is a non-SI unit and may lack full standardization compared to micronewton meters.
  • Accurate conversion depends on using the correct conversion constant of 1 gf·cm = 98.0665 µN·m.
  • Very small torque readings may be affected by instrument noise and limit measurement precision.
