A kilogram-centimeter (kgf·cm) is one kilogram-force acting at one centimetre from the axis. It is one hundredth of a kilogram-meter.
If you have ever bought a hobby servo, you have seen this unit. Servo torque is published almost universally in kgf·cm — a common 9 g micro servo is rated around 1.8 kgf·cm, a standard-size servo around 10–20 kgf·cm.
The rating tells you how much weight the servo can hold at a given arm length: 10 kgf·cm means it can just support 10 kg at 1 cm from the shaft, or 1 kg at 10 cm, or 0.5 kg at 20 cm. Doubling the arm halves the load it can hold.
