Convert Gram-force Centimeter to Newton Centimeter

Input the number of gram-force centimeters you want to convert to newton centimeters.

1 gf·cm (gram-force centimeters) = 0.00980665 N·cm (newton centimeters)

How to Convert Gram-force Centimeters to Newton Centimeters

The gram-force centimeter and newton centimeter are both units of torque. 1 newton centimeter equals 101.9716213 gram-force centimeters. This means to convert gram-force centimeters to newton centimeters, you divide by 101.9716213.

Formula

newton centimeters = gram-force centimeters ÷ 101.9716213

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 gf·cm to newton centimeters:

1
Convert 5 gf·cm to newton centimeters

We need to convert gram-force centimeters to newton centimeters

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 N·cm = 101.9716213 gf·cm, divide by 101.9716213

5 ÷ 101.9716213 = 0.04903325

Answer

5 gf·cm = 0.04903325 N·cm

About These Units

Gram-force Centimeter (gf·cm)

A gram-force centimeter (gf·cm) equals 0.0981 mN·m. Used for very small torque: watch movements (0.1-10 gf·cm), micrometers, and precision instruments. One kgf·cm = 1000 gf·cm. Essential for fine mechanical work.

Newton Centimeter (N·cm)

A newton centimeter (N·cm) equals 0.01 N·m or 10 mN·m. Common for small servo motors, robotics actuators, and model aircraft servos (50-500 N·cm typical). Also used for small fastener specifications. One N·cm = 1.416 oz·in.
