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.
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.
