rad/s to RPM Converter

Our rad/s to RPM converter is a vital tool for engineers, physicists, and anyone working in mechanics or rotational dynamics. It allows for the seamless translation of rotational speed from the standard SI unit of angular velocity, radians per second (rad/s), to the more commonly used Revolutions Per Minute (RPM). This conversion is crucial for practical applications where RPM is the standard for expressing mechanical performance. With its intuitive interface, you can quickly get accurate conversion amounts, ensuring precision in your technical work.

What is rad/s?

Radians per second (rad/s) is the SI unit for angular velocity. It describes the rate at which an object rotates, with one full revolution being equal to 2π radians. This unit is fundamental in physics and engineering for calculations involving circular motion.

What is RPM?

Revolutions per minute (RPM) is a unit of frequency expressing the number of full rotations completed in one minute around a fixed axis. It is a common measure of rotational speed in mechanical engineering and automotive applications.

Why Convert rad/s to RPM?

Converting radians per second to RPM is useful for translating a scientific measurement of angular velocity into a more common, practical unit. This is often necessary when applying theoretical calculations to real-world mechanical systems. Our converter simplifies this process using the formula: RPM = rad/s × (60 / 2π).
