About Ounce-force-inch (oz·in)
An imperial unit of torque equal to one ounce-force at a one-inch lever arm (about 0.00706 N·m). Ounce-inches appear on US small-motor datasheets (fractional-horsepower DC motors, stepper motors, actuators), precision servo ratings, and instrument-grade mechanical equipment. At this scale, oz·in provides finer resolution than in·lbf for specifying startup torque and continuous-duty ratings of low-power motors.
About Kilogram-force-meter (kgf·m)
A legacy metric unit of torque equal to one kilogram-force applied at a one-meter lever arm (exactly 9.80665 N·m). Though officially replaced by newton-meters in SI, kgf·m persists on older European machinery specifications, Japanese motorcycle service manuals, industrial press ratings, and some legacy automotive torque specs. Typical motorcycle axle torques are often quoted in both kgf·m and N·m in multi-language service documentation.
