About these units

Kilogram-Force

Kilogram-force (kgf) is the force exerted by the weight of one kilogram under standard gravity. It is often used in engineering to describe the force of everyday objects and loads, such as the force exerted by a heavy tool or piece of equipment. It is a non-SI unit but still finds practical use in many fields.

Centinewtons

A centinewton (cN) is 0.01 newtons, making it useful for expressing very small forces. It might be used in situations involving micro-robotics or precision instruments where delicate forces are applied.
