Convert Gram-force centimetres to Newton centimetres
Convert Gram-force centimetres (gf·cm) to Newton centimetres (N·cm) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
N·cm = gf·cm × 0.00980665
About Gram-force centimetres
The gram-force centimetre (gf·cm) equals 9.80665 × 10⁻⁵ N·m, the standard unit for small servo and hobby motor specifications. RC servo motor stall torques are quoted in gf·cm - a typical 9 g mini-servo delivers 1500-2000 gf·cm. Small stepper motors for 3D printers range 400-600 gf·cm; model train gearboxes around 200-800 gf·cm. 1 gf·cm = 9.80665 × 10⁻⁵ N·m = 10 gf·mm = 0.01 kgf·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.
