About these units
Newton Centimeter (N·cm)
- Definition
- A newton centimeter (N·cm) is one hundredth of a newton meter, used for small torques.
- History
- It is a smaller metric subdivision of the newton meter.
- Current use
- It rates small torques in electronics, instruments, and small motors.
Kilogram-force Meter (kgf·m)
- Definition
- A kilogram-force meter (kgf·m) is a metric-gravitational torque unit of about 9.807 N·m.
- History
- It was common in older metric engineering before the newton meter.
- Current use
- It still appears in some automotive and machinery torque specifications.
