kgf*m
KW

No tengo idea... pero KW normalmente se refiere a Kilowatts

Hi Mariana,

N*m = Newton by meter = Torque
kgf*m Kilogram (force) by meter = Torque
KW = kiloWatt = Power

Cheers

Thanks Jack!

Hello!
The units are universal conventions, so meters is always writter as "m".
N.m would mean Newton by meter everywhere in the world.
Like the symbols for chemical elements.

Cheers!

Thanks for all the answers!
