Torque Units in Mechanical Engineering

Torque appears in newton-meters (SI), pound-force feet (US automotive), kilogram-force meters (some Asian specifications), and ounce-force inches (small fasteners). Every bolt torque specification, engine output curve, and electric motor datasheet requires understanding the correct unit. Cross-referencing between American and European automotive repair manuals is a daily conversion task for mechanics.

How to Convert N*M to N*CM (Newton meter to Newton centimeter)?

We can convert newton meter to newton centimeter by using an example.

Example:

Convert 20 Newton meter to Newton centimeter?

We know 1 Newton meter = 100.0000000 newton centimeter; 1 Newton centimeter = 0.0100000 newton meter.

20 newton meter = ___N*cm

20 × 100.0000000 = 2000.00000 N*cm (we know 1 newton meter = 100.0000000 newton centimeter)

Answer:

20 newton meter = 2000.00000 newton centimeter

Newton-Meters to Newton-Centimeters: Hobby Servo and Lab Torque

Newton-centimeters (N·cm) is commonly used for hobby servos, laboratory stirrers, and small electric motors. Since 1 meter = 100 centimeters, the conversion is 1 N·m = 100 N·cm. This unit provides a convenient middle ground between the large N·m and the tiny N·mm.

  1. Take the torque value in N·m.
  2. Multiply by 100.
  3. The result is the torque in N·cm.
  4. Example: 0.5 N·m × 100 = 50 N·cm.
💡 Tip: Move the decimal two places right. A 2 N·m motor has 200 N·cm of torque, which is sometimes listed as "20 kg·cm" in hobby servo specs (using a non-standard but common notation).

N·m to N·cm Conversion Table

Torque values for servos, small motors, and laboratory equipment:

Newton meterNewton centimeter
0.05 N·m5 N·cm
0.1 N·m10 N·cm
0.2 N·m20 N·cm
0.5 N·m50 N·cm
1 N·m100 N·cm
2 N·m200 N·cm
5 N·m500 N·cm
10 N·m1,000 N·cm

Step-by-Step: N·m to N·cm

Question 1: A robot arm joint servo is rated at 0.35 N·m. What is this in N·cm?

Solution:

N·cm = N·m × 100

= 0.35 × 100

= 35 N·cm

Answer: 0.35 N·m = 35 N·cm — sufficient for a small robotic arm segment.

Question 2: A magnetic stirrer provides 0.08 N·m of torque. Express in N·cm.

Solution:

N·cm = N·m × 100

= 0.08 × 100

= 8 N·cm

Answer: 0.08 N·m = 8 N·cm — adequate for stirring low-viscosity liquids.

Question 3: A NEMA 17 stepper motor has 0.45 N·m holding torque. Convert to N·cm.

Solution:

N·cm = N·m × 100

= 0.45 × 100

= 45 N·cm

Answer: 0.45 N·m = 45 N·cm — a common 3D printer extruder motor torque.

  2. A lab centrifuge motor provides 3 N·m. Express in N·cm. (Answer: 300 N·cm)
  3. Convert 0.025 N·m to N·cm. (Answer: 2.5 N·cm)
  4. A door closer mechanism exerts 8 N·m. What is this in N·cm? (Answer: 800 N·cm)
  5. Convert 1.5 N·m to N·cm. (Answer: 150 N·cm)

Hobby Servo Ratings: The kg·cm Convention

The RC hobby world often rates servos in "kg·cm" — this is technically kgf·cm and equals N·cm ÷ 0.98 (approximately equal). A servo rated "20 kg·cm" means it can hold 20 kg at 1 cm from the shaft, which equals about 196 N·cm or 1.96 N·m. While not an official SI unit, "kg·cm" remains ubiquitous in servo motor datasheets and hobby robotics.

NEMA Stepper Motors and Torque Ratings

NEMA 14 steppers typically produce 14-20 N·cm, NEMA 17 produces 20-65 N·cm, and NEMA 23 produces 100-300 N·cm of holding torque. These ratings are listed in both N·cm (metric markets) and oz·in (US markets) on datasheets. For 3D printers, CNC machines, and laser cutters, NEMA 17 motors with 40-50 N·cm (0.4-0.5 N·m) are the standard choice.

Key Takeaways

  • 1 N·m = 100 N·cm (multiply by 100).
  • N·cm is the standard for hobby servos and small electric motors.
  • Hobby "kg·cm" ratings are approximately equal to N·cm ÷ 0.98.
  • NEMA 17 stepper motors: typically 20-65 N·cm holding torque.
  • Move the decimal two places right to convert N·m to N·cm.
