About Pound-inch squared (lb·in²)
An imperial mass-moment-of-inertia unit (1 lb·in² ≈ 2.926 × 10⁻⁴ kg·m²) used for smaller rotating components in US mechanical engineering — servo shafts, small flywheels, and engine valvetrain components where the finer resolution compared to lb·ft² helps.
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.
