Ounce-Force Foot [ozf·ft]
Ounce-force foot (ozf·ft) is a unit of torque or moment of force used to measure rotational force in situations requiring finer precision than pound-force foot (lbf·ft) but larger than ounce-force inch (ozf·in). It represents the torque generated when a force of one ounce-force (ozf) is applied at a distance of one foot (ft) from a pivot point. This unit is particularly useful in mechanical engineering, instrumentation, and small-scale mechanical systems where moderate torques are involved.
Ounce-force foot is valuable for quantifying torque in applications such as small machinery, instrument calibration, or assembly of mechanical devices where precise control of rotational force is critical. It helps ensure components are tightened or adjusted correctly without causing damage or failure.
While the newton-meter (N·m) is the SI unit for torque and the pound-force foot (lbf·ft) is common for larger forces, the ounce-force foot unit fits niche applications that require intermediate torque measurements within the imperial system. For reference, 1 ozf·ft equals approximately 0.00885 newton-meters.
Newton Millimeter [N·mm]
Newton millimeter (N·mm) is a unit of torque that measures the rotational force applied when a force of one newton is exerted perpendicularly at a distance of one millimeter from the axis of rotation. It is especially useful for very small-scale or high-precision applications, such as micro-mechanical systems, electronics, robotics, and laboratory instruments, where tiny forces need accurate measurement. A higher N·mm value indicates greater torque and more resistance to rotation, while a lower value represents less rotational force and easier motion. Engineers, designers, and researchers use this unit to calculate torque, angular acceleration, and energy requirements for miniature components like micro-gears, motors, sensors, and precision instruments. By combining force with very small rotational distances, newton millimeter provides a practical and precise measure for managing and analyzing torque in compact or highly sensitive mechanical systems, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and stability in delicate applications.
