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.

About Ounce square inches

The ounce square inch (oz·in²) equals ≈1.829 × 10⁻⁵ kg·m², used in US precision instrument engineering for light rotating components. Pre-metric American gyroscope gimbal assemblies and US MIL-SPEC instrument servo actuators cited inertia in oz·in²; NACA gyroscope test reports use oz·in² for small rotating elements. 1 oz·in² ≈1.829 × 10⁻⁵ kg·m² = 16 oz·in² per lb·in².
