Question 1

What is millinewton-meter?

Accepted Answer

Small torque unit: 1 mN·m = 0.001 N·m. Used for small motors, watch movements, and precision instruments.

Question 2

How do you convert mN·m to N·m?

Accepted Answer

Divide by 1000. Example: 500 mN·m = 0.5 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.
