What Is a Centinewton-meter (cN·m)?

A centinewton-meter (cN·m) is one hundredth of a newton-meter — a metric SI-prefixed unit for very small torques.

  • 1 cN·m = 0.01 N·m
  • 1 N·m = 100 cN·m

Why Such a Small Unit

Some torques are genuinely tiny. A spectacle hinge screw, a watch case back or a miniature connector may need a fraction of a newton-meter. Writing 8 cN·m is clearer and safer on a specification than 0.08 N·m, where a missing zero changes the value tenfold.

Because centi is a plain SI prefix, the conversion is exact and involves no measurement standard — just a shift of the decimal point.

Where Centinewton-meters Are Used

  • Precision instruments and optics — small retaining screws.
  • Electronics assembly — miniature terminal screws and board standoffs.
  • Watchmaking and eyewear.
  • Torque screwdriver ratings in the sub-newton-meter range.
