Gram-Force Centimeter
gf·cm
Definition
The gram-force centimeter (gf·cm) is a gravitational metric unit of torque, equal to 9.80665E-5 newton meters. It represents the rotational force produced by one gram-force applied at one centimeter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
This unit was commonly used in the CGS and technical systems for small-scale torque measurements in precision instruments and laboratory equipment. It provided a practical unit for fine mechanical work.
Current Use
Found in some specialized scientific instruments, older technical literature, and in fields where CGS or technical units are maintained for consistency with historical data and measurements.

Newton Centimeter
N·cm
Definition
The newton centimeter (N·cm) is a metric unit of torque, equal to 0.01 newton meters. It represents the rotational force produced when a force of one newton is applied perpendicularly at a distance of one centimeter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
This unit is derived from the SI system as a convenient submultiple for smaller torque measurements. It was commonly used in engineering applications where centimeter-scale measurements were more practical than meter-scale measurements.
Current Use
Frequently used in precision engineering, small mechanical devices, and laboratory equipment where torque measurements are required at centimeter scales. It provides a practical unit for fine-tuned mechanical adjustments and small-scale applications.
