The ton-force metric unit assumes standard gravity; local gravity differences are not accounted for
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a ton-force (metric) meter?
-
It is a moment of force unit equal to one metric ton-force applied at one metre lever arm, representing large torque values in heavy industries.
-
What applications use millinewton meter units?
-
Millinewton meters commonly specify torque in small motors, precision instruments, micro-torque sensors, and micro-mechanical devices.
-
Why does the conversion factor have such a large value?
-
Because one ton-force (metric) meter corresponds to a very large torque compared to a millinewton meter, which is one thousandth of a newton meter.
Key Terminology
