About Kilogram-force-centimeter (kgf·cm)
A legacy metric unit of torque equal to one kilogram-force applied at a one-centimeter lever arm (exactly 0.0980665 N·m). kgf·cm is heavily used on small-motor datasheets, especially from Japanese, Korean, and Chinese manufacturers: stepper motor holding torque (NEMA-17 typically 30-90 oz·in = 21-65 kgf·cm; NEMA-23 90-180 oz·in = 65-130 kgf·cm), small DC and servo motors for robotics and hobby applications (e.g., a Tower Pro MG996R servo is rated 9.4 kgf·cm at 4.8 V, 11 kgf·cm at 6.0 V), RC vehicle drive motors, brushless gimbal motors for stabilized camera platforms, small-engine specifications (handheld power equipment, generators), and legacy small-appliance / scientific-instrument torque specs. kgf·cm is sized between in·lbf (8.85 kgf·cm = 1 ft·lbf, 0.738 kgf·cm = 1 in·lbf) and N·m, making it convenient for sub-1-N·m torques without leading zeros. Convert kgf·cm to N·m by dividing by 10.197; to oz·in by multiplying by 13.89.
About Ounce-force-inch (oz·in)
An imperial unit of torque equal to one ounce-force at a one-inch lever arm (≈ 0.00706155 N·m, exactly 1/192 of a ft·lbf since 1 lb = 16 oz and 1 ft = 12 in). Ounce-inches are the US working unit for fractional-horsepower motor torque specifications under NEMA standards and stepper-motor data sheets: stepper motors (NEMA-11 16-25 oz·in, NEMA-17 30-90 oz·in, NEMA-23 60-300 oz·in, NEMA-34 300-1,200 oz·in), small DC and BLDC motors for robotics and electromechanical actuators, RC servos (a typical analog hobby servo is 30-80 oz·in; high-torque digital servos reach 600 oz·in), instrument-grade torque measurement (precision torque sensors and calibrators), and small-appliance / electromechanical device design (camera lens autofocus motors, optical-disc drive spindles, paper-feed motors in printers / ATMs / currency-counters). At this scale oz·in provides finer resolution than in·lbf for specifying startup torque and continuous-duty ratings. Convert oz·in to N·m by multiplying by 0.00706; to kgf·cm by multiplying by 0.072.
