About Pound-force feet
The pound-force foot (lbf·ft) equals ≈ 1.35582 N·m, the dominant torque unit in North American automotive and mechanical engineering. SAE engine performance tests, US vehicle lug-nut torque specs (80-100 lbf·ft), and American industrial gearbox catalogs all use lbf·ft. V8 truck engines produce 400-600 lbf·ft; diesel pickups exceed 900 lbf·ft. 1 lbf·ft ≈ 1.35582 N·m = 12 lbf·in ≈ 192 ozf·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.
