Convert N·m to N·cm

Enter the number of newton meters that you want to convert to newton centimeters.

1 N·m (newton meters) = 100 N·cm (newton centimeters)

How to Convert Newton Meters to Newton Centimeters

The newton meter and newton centimeter are both units of torque. By definition, 1 newton meter equals exactly 100 newton centimeters. This means to convert newton meters to newton centimeters, you multiply by 100.

Formula

newton centimeters = newton meters × 100

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 N·m to newton centimeters:

1
Convert 5 N·m to newton centimeters

We need to convert newton meters to newton centimeters

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 N·m = 100 N·cm, multiply by 100

5 × 100 = 500

Answer

5 N·m = 500 N·cm

About These Units

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.

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.
