Convert Kilogram-force centimetres (kgf·cm) to Newton centimetres (N·cm) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
N·cm = kgf·cm × 9.80665
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 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.
