RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Correct terminology for Torque units-WAS Re: Frozen stepper motor shaft

Bill:

Maybe so-but my own inclination is to make it easier to understand for
whoever happens to be doing the calcs.

That includes lots of old codgers like me who are more comfortable with
the archaic imperial units(though IO have an engineering degree, and
most of my education made use of SI units-hard to change old habits).

In any case, I don't think it makes sense to use a division symbol in a
"units" term when the opposite is meant.

And I wouldn't harp on it so often if I didn't believe that many who use
the incorrect term really think it IS "ounces per inch".

Andy,

If this argument is really about making calculations easier, then I'm
sure that a real pedant would advocate the use of the SI compatible unit
Nm.


Kind regards,
