Convert Pound-force inches (lbf·in) to Newton centimetres (N·cm) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
N·cm = lbf·in × 11.2984829
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 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.
