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.

Kilogram-Force Centimeter
kgf·cm
Definition
The kilogram-force centimeter (kgf·cm) is a gravitational metric unit of torque, equal to 0.0980665 newton meters. It represents the rotational force produced by one kilogram-force applied at one centimeter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
This unit was commonly used in the technical system of units for smaller torque measurements. It provided a practical unit for centimeter-scale applications in engineering and manufacturing.
Current Use
Still found in some industrial contexts and older technical specifications, particularly in countries with a history of using gravitational metric units for engineering applications.
