Convert newton centimeters to newton meters by entering a value below.
How to Convert Newton Centimeters to Newton Meters
The newton centimeter and newton meter are both units of torque. By definition, 1 newton meter equals exactly 100 newton centimeters. This means to convert newton centimeters to newton meters, you divide by 100.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 N·cm to newton meters:
We need to convert newton centimeters to newton meters
Since 1 N·m = 100 N·cm, divide by 100
5 ÷ 100 = 0.05
5 N·cm = 0.05 N·m

About These Units
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.
Newton Meter (N·m)
The newton meter (N·m) is the SI unit of torque—rotational force times lever arm distance. Standard automotive torque unit worldwide. Typical car: 200-400 N·m, sports car: 500-700 N·m, diesel truck: 1,000-2,500 N·m. Formula: τ = F × r. One N·m = 0.738 lb·ft.
