Convert Kilogram-force metres to Newton centimetres
Convert Kilogram-force metres (kgf·m) to Newton centimetres (N·cm) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
N·cm = kgf·m × 980.665
About Kilogram-force metres
The kilogram-force metre (kgf·m) equals exactly 9.80665 N·m, used in pre-SI European and legacy Asian engineering. Soviet/Russian GOST standards, early JIS turbine and compressor specifications, and older DIN automotive standards listed torque in kgf·m. A car wheel bolt at 10 kgf·m ≈ 98.1 N·m. 1 kgf·m = 9.80665 N·m = 100 kgf·cm ≈ 7.233 lbf·ft ≈ 86.80 lbf·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.
