Newton Millimeter
N·mm
Definition
The newton millimeter (N·mm) is a metric unit of torque, equal to 0.001 newton meters. It represents the rotational force produced when a force of one newton is applied perpendicularly at a distance of one millimeter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
This unit was developed as a submultiple of the newton meter for very precise torque measurements. It became important in precision engineering and manufacturing where millimeter-scale measurements are standard.
Current Use
Commonly used in precision manufacturing, micro-mechanics, and laboratory instruments where very small torque values need to be measured accurately. It is essential for fine mechanical adjustments and precision assembly work.

Kilogram-Force Centimeter
kgf·cm
Definition
The kilogram-force centimeter (kgf·cm) is a gravitational metric unit of torque, equal to 0.0980665 newton meters. It represents the rotational force produced by one kilogram-force applied at one centimeter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
This unit was commonly used in the technical system of units for smaller torque measurements. It provided a practical unit for centimeter-scale applications in engineering and manufacturing.
Current Use
Still found in some industrial contexts and older technical specifications, particularly in countries with a history of using gravitational metric units for engineering applications.
