FAQ

What is the conversion factor from kgf·cm to mN·m?
1 kgf·cm equals 98.0665 mN·m. To convert, multiply the value in kilogram-force centimetres by 98.0665.
How do I convert 1 kgf·cm to mN·m?
1 kgf·cm = 98.0665 mN·m. For any value, multiply by 98.0665.
How do I convert mN·m back to kgf·cm?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.01019716. So 1 mN·m = 0.0101972 kgf·cm.
When would I need to convert kilogram-force centimetre to millinewton-metre?
Torque conversions between kgf·cm and mN·m are needed in fastener specification, mechanical equipment design, drivetrain analysis and lifting/rigging calculations. Newton-metre (N·m) is the SI standard; lbf·ft and lbf·in dominate US fastener and machinery datasheets; kgf·m appears in legacy metric documentation. Display symbol is N·m — never the abbreviation "nm", which denotes nanometre.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
