What is a newton millimeter used for?

It is used to express small torque values in precision engineering, such as for tiny screws, micro-motors, and torque sensors in watchmaking and medical instruments.

How does gram-force centimeter relate to newton meter?

One gram-force centimeter equals 9.80665×10⁻⁵ newton-metre, making it a smaller, non-SI torque unit often used in miniature electronics and watch mechanisms.

Can I use this converter for large torque values?

No, both newton millimeter and gram-force centimeter represent very small torque magnitudes and are not suitable for high torque conversions.
