coppia esterna [Nm]

coppia constante [Nm]

fattore di scala per la coppia dipendente dalla posizione {Nm/rad]

posizione del giunto quando la coppia dipendente dalla posizione e zero [rad]

external torque
Explanation:
"Coppia" is definitely torque, especially given the unit of measure Nm you've cited.
See below:
The coordinated action of fingers during static tasks involving exertion of force and torque on a hand-held object was studied. Subjects were asked to keep a handle with an attachment that allowed for independent change of the suspended load (0.5-2.0 kg) and external torque (0.375-1.5 Nm) in a vertical position while applying minimal effort.

Explanation:
I'm being pedantic, but you may just want to look at reference 1.
