Convert Kilogram-force centimetres to Kilonewton metres
Convert Kilogram-force centimetres (kgf·cm) to Kilonewton metres (kN·m) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kN·m = kgf·cm × 9.806650000e-5
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.
About Kilonewton metres
The kilonewton metre (kN·m) equals 1000 N·m, the standard unit for structural and civil engineering bending moments and large-machine torques. Steel beam connection bolts, industrial gearbox output shafts, ship propeller shaft flanges, and large AC induction motor ratings are specified in kN·m. Wind turbine mainshaft torques reach 1-10 MN·m. 1 kN·m = 1000 N·m ≈ 737.6 lbf·ft ≈ 0.7376 kip·ft ≈ 102.0 kgf·m.
