Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a kilogram-force millimeter?
-
It is a torque unit equal to the moment from a force of one kilogram-force applied perpendicularly at one millimeter from a pivot.
-
What applications use ounce-force inch torque units?
-
Ounce-force inch units are commonly used in electronics assembly, watchmaking, and testing small motors and precision instruments.
-
Why convert between kilogram-force millimeter and ounce-force inch?
-
