Convert Kilogram-force centimetres to Poundal feet
Convert Kilogram-force centimetres (kgf·cm) to Poundal feet (pdl·ft) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
pdl·ft = kgf·cm × 2.327153389
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 Poundal feet
The poundal foot (pdl·ft) equals ≈ 0.04214 N·m, the torque unit of the absolute foot-pound-second system, where force is in poundals (1 pdl = 1 lb·ft/s²) rather than pound-force. It appeared in pre-SI British and American engineering texts and NACA aerodynamic stability reports alongside slug inertia values. 1 pdl·ft = 0.45359237 × 0.3048² N·m ≈ 0.04214 N·m ≈ 0.3730 lbf·in.
