About these units
The newton (N) is an SI base or derived unit of force.
The kilogram-force (kgf) is a metric unit of force, equal to 9.80665 newtons.
Going the other way, 1 kilogram-force = 9.80665 newtons. Force is mass times acceleration. Engineering specs mix newtons, kilogram-force and pound-force freely, and the difference matters when you are sizing a bolt or a spring.
