Definition of Newton Meter
- Definition
- The newton-meter (N·m) is the SI unit of torque (moment of force). It represents the torque produced by a force of one newton applied at a perpendicular distance of one meter from the pivot point.
Newton-meters are the international standard for torque specifications in automotive, industrial, and scientific applications. - Exact factor
- 1 N·m = 0.7375621 ft·lb = 8.8507458 in·lb
- Examples
- • Car wheel lug nut: 100–140 N·m
• Spark plug: 15–30 N·m
• Bicycle stem bolt: 5–7 N·m
Definition of Kilogram Force Centimeter
- Definition
- The kilogram-force centimeter (kgf·cm) is a gravitational metric unit of torque equal to one hundredth of a kgf·m. It is used for small torque specifications, especially in servo motors and robotics.
Common in RC hobby applications and Asian-manufactured servo specifications. - Exact factor
- 1 kgf·cm = 0.0980665 N·m (exact)
- Examples
- • RC servo motor: 3–20 kgf·cm
• Small actuator: 50–100 kgf·cm
About the Newton-meter
Facts & Uses
- The newton-meter is the only SI-recognized unit of torque, defined as kg·m²/s².
- European and Asian car manufacturers specify all torque values in N·m.
- Bicycle manufacturers worldwide use N·m for component torque specs.
- 1 N·m is roughly the torque needed to turn a standard door handle.
Curiosities
- A Formula 1 engine produces about 750 N·m of peak torque.
- The world's most powerful diesel engine (Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C) produces 7,603,850 N·m.
- A typical cordless drill produces 40–60 N·m of torque.
