Convert Newton centimetres to Poundal feet
Convert Newton centimetres (N·cm) to Poundal feet (pdl·ft) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
pdl·ft = N·cm × 0.237303604
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 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.
