Convert Gram square centimetres to Kilogram square centimetres
Convert Gram square centimetres (g·cm²) to Kilogram square centimetres (kg·cm²) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kg·cm² = g·cm² × 0.001
About Gram square centimetres
The gram square centimetre (g·cm²) equals 10⁻⁷ kg·m², the dominant unit in small electric motor and servo motor catalogues. Maxon RE-series micromotors list rotor inertia from 0.1-10 g·cm²; stepper motors for 3D printers range 50-500 g·cm². Clockmaking and watch-movement analysis use g·cm² for balance-wheel inertia calculations. 1 g·cm² = 10⁻⁷ kg·m² = 0.01 kg·mm².
About Kilogram square centimetres
The kilogram square centimetre (kg·cm²) equals 10⁻⁴ kg·m², the dominant unit in European servo and industrial drive engineering. ABB, Siemens, and Bosch Rexroth servo drive datasheets specify rotor and reflected load inertia in kg·cm²; IEC 61800 drive sizing balances motor-to-load inertia ratio in kg·cm². Industrial servomotors: 0.05-200 kg·cm². 1 kg·cm² = 10⁻⁴ kg·m² = 100 kg·mm².
