Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is an ounce-force inch used for?
-
It measures very small torque moments such as those in electronics assembly and small motor testing.
-
Why convert to newton millimeter?
-
Newton millimeter is a metric unit common in precision engineering, facilitating standard torque expression and calibration.
-
Are these units suitable for large torque values?
-
No, both units are designed for very small torques and may not be appropriate for larger measurements.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce-force inch [ozf*in]
-
A torque unit representing one ounce-force applied at a one inch distance from a pivot, used for small torque measurements.
-
Newton millimeter [N*mm]
-
A torque unit denoting the moment produced by one newton force applied at a lever arm of one millimeter, used in precision engineering.
