What is a newton millimeter (N·mm)?

It is a torque unit representing the moment created by a one newton force applied perpendicularly at one millimeter from the pivot, equal to 0.001 newton-metre.

What does one kilogram-force centimeter (kgf·cm) represent?

It is a torque unit defined by a force of one kilogram-force applied at one centimeter from the pivot, and it is equal to 0.0980665 newton-metre.

Why convert from newton millimeter to kilogram-force centimeter?

Users convert to express and compare small torques in different unit systems, facilitating communication and compatibility in precision fields using gravitational units.
