what does load n mean
what does load "n" mean?sorry for this simple question, but i am trying to figure out a servo driven linear actuator's pushing force. the catalog states that the load is 600 in "n" measurement. is this a metric measurement for something under kilogram? any help would be appreciated, thank you
n is a newton, which is a measure of force, or a force which when applied to a body having a mass of one kilogramme, gives it a acceleration of one metre per second squared.
in si units (system international or metric) the standard measure of mass is the kilogram and the standard measure of force is the newton.if a lifting device is rated at 600n for example, on earth this would be divided by 9.81m/s/s (accelleration due to gravity) to determine the mass in kg that could be lifted.
