Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a newton millimeter (N·mm)?
-
A newton millimeter is a torque unit representing the moment of a one newton force applied perpendicularly at a distance of one millimeter.
-
Why convert from newton millimeter to gram-force meter?
-
Converting allows comparison or calibration of small torque values in systems that use gravitational metric units instead of SI, ensuring compatibility across different measurement standards.
-
Can this conversion handle very small torque values?
-
Yes, it is designed to support precision torque values commonly used in small-scale applications like micro-motors and instrumentation.
