Newton-centimeter (N·cm)
The newton-centimetre (N·cm) is one hundredth of a newton-metre.
Symbol: N·cm (ASCII: Ncm)
Quantity: torque (moment of force)
SI relation: 1 N·cm = 0.01 N·m (exact)
Derivation: 1 N·cm = 0.01 N·m
Exact: yes, by definition
Typical uses
- Dental and medical implant torque (e.g. 35 N·cm)
- Small motors and servos
- Precision screwdrivers
