Question 1

What is micronewton-meter?

Accepted Answer

Tiny torque unit: 1 μN·m = 10⁻⁶ N·m. Used in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanotechnology.

Question 2

Where is μN·m used?

Accepted Answer

MEMS devices, optical mirror actuators, micro-motors, and precision instrument calibration.

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.
