Newton Centimeter

N·cm

Definition

The newton centimeter (N·cm) is a metric unit of torque, equal to 0.01 newton meters. It represents the rotational force produced when a force of one newton is applied perpendicularly at a distance of one centimeter from the pivot point.

History/Origin

This unit is derived from the SI system as a convenient submultiple for smaller torque measurements. It was commonly used in engineering applications where centimeter-scale measurements were more practical than meter-scale measurements.

Current Use

Frequently used in precision engineering, small mechanical devices, and laboratory equipment where torque measurements are required at centimeter scales. It provides a practical unit for fine-tuned mechanical adjustments and small-scale applications.

Kilogram-Force Millimeter

kgf·mm

Definition

The kilogram-force millimeter (kgf·mm) is a gravitational metric unit of torque, equal to 0.00980665 newton meters. It represents the rotational force produced by one kilogram-force applied at one millimeter from the pivot point.

History/Origin

This unit was used in the technical system of units for very precise torque measurements at millimeter scales. It provided a practical unit for fine mechanical adjustments and precision work.

Current Use

Primarily found in older technical specifications and some specialized manufacturing applications where millimeter-scale precision is required and gravitational metric units are maintained.
