What is an ounce-force?
A sixteenth of a pound-force. Spring tensions, switch actuation and small-motor specifications are given here.
What is a kilogram-force?
The weight of one kilogram under standard gravity, exactly 9.80665 newtons by the defined value of that gravity. Older European engineering drawings are full of it.
How many kilograms-force are in an ounce-force?
One ounce-force is 0.028349523 kilograms-force. Going the other way, one kilogram-force is 35.273962 ounces-force. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.
