Convert Dyne centimetres to Newton centimetres
Convert Dyne centimetres (dyn·cm) to Newton centimetres (N·cm) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
N·cm = dyn·cm × 1.000000000e-5
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 Newton centimetres
The newton centimetre (N·cm) equals 0.01 N·m, a convenient unit for small-to-medium motors and robotics. Hobbyist robot joint actuators, prosthetic hand finger joints, and compact CubeSat reaction wheels are rated in N·cm. RC drone racing motors and small AC induction motors up to 100 W produce 5-200 N·cm. 1 N·cm = 0.01 N·m = 10 N·mm ≈ 1.416 ozf·in ≈ 0.0885 lbf·in.
