Unit Definitions

What is a Kilogram-Force Centimeter (kgf·cm)?

Metric (SI)Worldwide

Kilogram-force centimeter (kgf·cm) is a unit of torque representing the force of one kilogram acting at a distance of one centimeter from the pivot point.

History

The kilogram-force was historically used in mechanical engineering and physics to quantify force based on the gravitational pull on a mass of one kilogram. It has since been largely replaced by the SI unit of force, the newton, but remains in use for various applications.

Current Use

Today, kgf·cm is commonly used in various fields such as engineering, automotive, and even fitness equipment to specify torque settings.

What is a Newton-Meter (N·m)?

Metric (SI)Worldwide

Newton-meter (N·m) is the SI unit of torque, defined as the torque resulting from a force of one newton applied perpendicularly to the end of a one-meter arm.

History

The newton-meter is named after Sir Isaac Newton, in recognition of his work on classical mechanics. It has become the standard unit of torque in scientific and engineering contexts.

Current Use

N·m is widely used in engineering, automotive industries, and physics, making it essential for torque specifications in machinery and equipment.
