Conversion Formula
N·m = N·cm × 0.01
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 Newton metres
The newton metre (N·m) is the SI coherent derived unit of torque and bending moment. Car engine torque is commonly quoted in N·m - a family hatchback delivers 150-250 N·m; a performance saloon 400-600 N·m. Fastener pre-load torques, EV traction-motor ratings, and structural connection bolt specifications are all given in N·m. 1 N·m = 100 N·cm = 1000 N·mm ≈ 0.7376 lbf·ft ≈ 8.851 lbf·in.
