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.
Pound-force Foot (lb·ft)
The pound-foot (lb·ft or ft·lb) is the standard US automotive torque unit. Often written as lb-ft, lb·ft, or foot-pounds. Typical car: 150-350 lb·ft, muscle car: 400-600 lb·ft, diesel truck: 700-1,500 lb·ft. One lb·ft = 1.356 N·m.
