Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a gram-force millimeter?
-
It is a torque unit representing the moment from a force of one gram-force applied at a lever arm of one millimeter, mainly used for very small torque measurements.
-
How does gram-force meter differ from gram-force millimeter?
-
Gram-force meter is a torque unit for force applied at one meter from the pivot, representing larger torque values compared to gram-force millimeter which uses one millimeter lever arm.
-
Why convert from gram-force millimeter to gram-force meter?
-
Converting helps express torque values at larger lever arms, improving readability and matching equipment specifications in small motor and component testing contexts.
Key Terminology

-
Gram-force meter (gf*m)
-
A torque unit equal to the moment produced by one gram-force acting at a perpendicular distance of one meter from a pivot.
