Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a newton millimeter used for?
-
A newton millimeter measures small torques, often used in precision engineering fields like electronic screw tightening and micro-motor torque specification.
-
Why convert newton millimeters to dyne meters?
-
Conversion helps express small torque values in different measurement systems, integrating cgs-based data with modern SI units and calibrating precision instruments.
-
Are there any limitations in using dyne meter as a unit?
-
Yes, the dyne meter combines cgs and SI units which might lead to inconsistency in strictly SI environments and requires attention to measurement precision.
Key Terminology
-
Newton millimeter [N*mm]
-
A torque unit representing a force of one newton applied perpendicularly at a lever arm of one millimeter, commonly used for small torque measurements.
-
Dyne meter [dyn*m]
-
A torque unit combining the cgs force unit dyne with an SI length meter, mainly used to express very small torques and convert between cgs and SI values.
-
Torque
-
A measure of rotational force produced by applying a force at a distance from an axis of rotation.
