About the units
- Kilogram-force centimeter
- A kilogram-force centimeter is exactly 0.0980665 newton meters, the usual unit on servo motor specs (kg·cm).
- Ounce-inch
- The ounce-inch (ozf·in) is one ounce-force at a one inch arm, one sixteenth of a pound-inch, common for servo and stepper motors.
Limits and caveats
- Results are rounded for display and computed with the browser's floating point precision (about 15 significant digits).
- Both unit factors are exact by their official definitions.
Questions about this tool
How many ounce-inches are in one kilogram-force centimeter?
1 kgf·cm = 13.8874 ozf·in exactly.
How do I convert kilogram-force centimeters to ounce-inches?
Use ozf·in = kgf·cm × 13.88738659. For example, 25 kgf·cm = 347.185 ozf·in.
How many kilogram-force centimeters are in one ounce-inch?
1 ozf·in = 0.0720078 kgf·cm.
Is a pound-foot the same as a foot-pound?
For torque, yes: both mean one pound-force on a one foot arm, about 1.3558 newton meters. Engineers often write pound-foot (lbf·ft) for torque and foot-pound for energy to keep the two apart.
Why is torque not measured in joules if both are newton meters?
Torque is a force times a lever arm at right angles to it, while work is a force times a distance along it. The dimensions match, but by convention torque is always given in newton meters.
