Conversion Formula

kgf·cm = lbf·in × 1.15212462

About Pound-force inches

The pound-force inch (lbf·in) equals ≈ 0.11299 N·m, the dominant US customary unit for motor and machinery documentation. Rockwell Automation, Parker Hannifin, and Allied Motion servo catalogs express stall and rated torques in lbf·in; US machine-tool spindles and conveyor drive gearboxes are also specified in lbf·in. Typical fractional-horsepower motor torques: 5-200 lbf·in. 1 lbf·in ≈ 0.11299 N·m = 16 ozf·in = 1/12 lbf·ft.

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.
