Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a newton millimeter?
-
A newton millimeter (N·mm) is a unit of torque representing a force of one newton applied perpendicularly at a lever arm of one millimeter, used to express small torques in precision engineering.
-
What does an ounce-force inch measure?
-
An ounce-force inch (ozf·in) measures torque as one ounce-force applied at a distance of one inch from the pivot, commonly used for very small moments in electronics and precision instruments.
-
When should I use this conversion?
-
