Convert Kilogram square decimetres to Kilogram square centimetres
Convert Kilogram square decimetres (kg·dm²) to Kilogram square centimetres (kg·cm²) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kg·cm² = kg·dm² × 100
About Kilogram square decimetres
The kilogram square decimetre (kg·dm²) equals 10⁻² kg·m², occasionally used in SI-metric flywheel and rotor analysis when the decimetre is a convenient length scale. Lathe chuck jaws, grinding wheel flanges, and small centrifuges fall in the 0.1-10 kg·dm² range. 1 kg·dm² = 10⁻² kg·m² = 100 kg·cm² = 10 g·m².
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.
