RPM to rad/s Converter

Our RPM to rad/s 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 commonly used Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) to the standard SI unit of angular velocity, radians per second (rad/s). This conversion is crucial for applying physics formulas and ensuring consistency in scientific calculations. With its intuitive interface, you can quickly get accurate conversion amounts, ensuring precision in your technical work.

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.

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.

Why Convert RPM to rad/s?

Converting RPM to radians per second is essential for standardizing rotational speed measurements for scientific and engineering calculations. While RPM is intuitive for mechanical applications, rad/s is required for most physics formulas. Our converter simplifies this process using the formula: rad/s = RPM × (2π / 60).
