Convert Dyne centimetres to Kilogram-force centimetres
Convert Dyne centimetres (dyn·cm) to Kilogram-force centimetres (kgf·cm) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kgf·cm = dyn·cm × 1.019716213e-6
About Dyne centimetres
The dyne centimetre (dyn·cm) is the CGS unit of torque, equal to 10⁻⁷ N·m. It represents 1 dyne of force applied at 1 cm from the axis. MEMS micro-actuator friction, watch escapement detent torques, and laboratory torsion-pendulum experiments are measured in dyn·cm. Pre-SI physics literature and precision galvanometer calibration reports used this unit. 1 dyn·cm = 10⁻⁷ N·m = 0.01 gf·mm = 0.001 gf·cm.
About Kilogram-force centimetres
The kilogram-force centimetre (kgf·cm) equals exactly 9.80665 × 10⁻² N·m, common in Continental European and Asian servo drive engineering. ABB, Siemens, and Yaskawa servo catalogs specify rotor and reflected-load torques in kgf·cm; IEC 61800 drive inertia-ratio sizing uses kgf·cm. Typical industrial servomotor stall torques: 0.1-50 kgf·cm. 1 kgf·cm = 0.0980665 N·m = 100 gf·cm ≈ 13.89 ozf·in.
