What does one gram-force meter represent?

It is the torque produced by a force of one gram-force acting at one meter from a pivot, a non-SI gravitational unit of torque.

Why convert gram-force meter to kilogram-force centimeter?

This conversion helps represent torque in smaller units better suited for precision instruments, watchmaking, and small motor calibration.

Are these units part of the SI system?

No, both units are non-SI gravitational units based on Earth’s gravity.

What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to transform torque measurements from gram-force meter (gf*m) to kilogram-force centimeter (kgf·cm), both non-SI gravitational units. It is commonly used in fields requiring precise torque calibration such as small motor testing, watchmaking, and quality control.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the torque value in gram-force meter (gf*m).
Select 'kilogram-force centimeter' as the target unit.
Click the convert button to get the equivalent torque in kilogram-force centimeters.
Use the result for calibration or specification of small torque applications.

Key Features

Converts torque values between gram-force meter and kilogram-force centimeter with a fixed conversion rate.
Supports precise torque specifications for small instruments and components.
Browser-based tool for convenient and quick conversions.
Helps align torque measurements for applications in precision engineering and hobby robotics.

Examples

5 gf*m equals 0.5 kgf·cm
10 gf*m equals 1 kgf·cm

Common Use Cases

Calibrating and specifying small torques in precision instruments and small electric motors.
Measuring torsional load in springs, fasteners, and component testing in quality control.
Specifying torque for small screws and watchmaking applications.
Rating torque of servomotors, actuators, and gearboxes in hobby robotics and RC models.
Using legacy or regional gravitational metric units instead of SI units.

Tips & Best Practices

Always confirm which unit system (gravitational or SI) is required in your technical specifications.
Use this tool to ensure torque values are expressed in the most practical units for your application.
Remember that both units rely on standard gravity; factor this in if local gravitational variations may affect measurements.

Limitations

Both gram-force meter and kilogram-force centimeter are non-SI gravitational units and may cause confusion if mixed with SI units.
The conversion is based on standard Earth gravity, so local gravity differences can slightly impact accuracy.
