Convert kilogram force centimeter to newton meter
Kilogram-Force Centimeter
The kilogram-force centimetre (kgf·cm) is a unit of energy or torque equal to one hundredth of a kilogram-force metre, equivalent to approximately 0.0980665 joules. It is frequently used in mechanical engineering to express torque values for small motors, fasteners, and precision equipment. The unit remains common in product specifications from manufacturers in countries that historically used the technical metric system.
Newton-meter
The newton-meter (N·m) is the SI unit of torque (moment of force), defined as the torque resulting from a force of one newton applied perpendicularly at a distance of one meter from the pivot point. It is also the SI unit of energy (the joule), though in the context of rotational mechanics the newton-meter is kept distinct. The unit is named after Sir Isaac Newton and is fundamental in mechanical engineering and physics.
