Key Terminology
-
Newton Centimeter [N·cm]
-
A torque unit equal to the moment produced by a force of one newton applied at a lever arm of one centimetre. It equals 0.01 newton metres.
-
Dyne Millimeter [dyn·mm]
-
A CGS-derived torque unit representing the torque produced by one dyne of force applied at a one millimetre lever arm. It corresponds to 1×10⁻⁸ newton metres.
-
Torque
-
A measure of the rotational force produced when a force is applied at a distance from a pivot point.
