About Kilogram-centimeter squared (kg·cm²)
A mass-moment-of-inertia unit equal to 10⁻⁴ kg·m². Used for small rotating components — electric motor rotors, servo shafts, small flywheels, and MEMS devices — where typical values fall in a range awkwardly small when quoted in kg·m². Motor and servo datasheets from Asian manufacturers often list rotor inertia in kg·cm².
About Gram-centimeter squared (g·cm²)
A CGS mass-moment-of-inertia unit (= 10⁻⁷ kg·m²) used for very small components: instrument gyroscopes, watch escapements, precision indexing wheels, and MEMS resonators. Optical precision instruments from historical-era European manufacturers often specify rotor inertia in g·cm².
