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 Slug square inches
The slug square inch (slug·in²) equals ≈9.415 × 10⁻³ kg·m², used in US aerospace guidance and flight mechanics. Pre-metric inertial navigation unit (INU) test reports and NACA stability-derivative tables listed gyroscope platform inertia in slug·in²; US autopilot servo actuator sizing also uses slug·in². 1 slug·in² ≈9.415 × 10⁻³ kg·m² ≈32.17 lb·in².
