What does one gram-force meter represent?

One gram-force meter is the torque generated by a force of one gram-force applied at one meter perpendicular distance from a pivot.

When should I use gram-force centimeters instead of gram-force meters?

Gram-force centimeters are preferred for very small torque values, such as those found in watchmaking and miniature robotics, where finer precision is required.

Are these torque units part of the SI system?

No, both gram-force meter and gram-force centimeter are non-SI units commonly used in specialized and regional measurements.
