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 Kilonewton-meter (kN·m)
A metric unit of torque equal to 1,000 newton-meters. Kilonewton-meters are used for large-scale engineering: industrial turbines, large diesel engines (ship propulsion, locomotives), wind-turbine main shaft torque (a modern 5 MW wind turbine produces ~3,800 kN·m), structural moments on reinforced concrete beams, and crankshaft loads in heavy equipment. Structural design codes (Eurocode, ASCE) use kN·m for bending moments.
