Convert Newton centimetres to Kilonewton metres
Convert Newton centimetres (N·cm) to Kilonewton metres (kN·m) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kN·m = N·cm × 1.000000000e-5
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.
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.
