Short background on the units used in this conversion.
The newton-meter (N·m) is the SI unit of torque — the rotational force applied through a lever arm to turn a shaft, bolt, or rotating body.
Newton-meters specify automotive lug-nut torque, wrench settings, and motor output on machinery nameplates — the force you apply to rotate something.
The kilogram-force meter (kgf·m) is the torque from a one kilogram-force applied one meter from the axis — exactly 9.80665 newton-meters at standard gravity.
Kilogram-force meters appear on older Asian and European machinery nameplates and some hydraulic torque charts.
kgf·m = N·m × 0.1019716213N·m = kgf·m × 9.80665, using the same exact factors as this converter.Jump to any torque conversion starting from newton meter — including the reverse direction and every other unit in our dataset.
