Question 1

What is gram-force meter?

Accepted Answer

Torque unit: 1 gf·m = 9.80665×10⁻³ N·m = 100 gf·cm. Used in precision mechanical devices.

Question 2

How do you convert gram-force meter to N·m?

Accepted Answer

Multiply by 0.00980665. Example: 500 gf·m = 4.90 N·m.

Question 3

Why are torque specs important?

Accepted Answer

Correct torque ensures proper clamping force. Too loose causes loosening/failure. Too tight causes stretching, stripping, or component damage.

Question 4

What's the difference between torque and force?

Accepted Answer

Force is a straight push/pull. Torque is rotational force: torque = force × distance from pivot. Same force at longer distance = more torque.
