What does this tool do?
Hertz counts cycles per second, while rpm counts rotations per minute. This converter handles Hz, kHz and rpm, and also reports angular velocity in radians per second and the period of one cycle.
The Formula
rpm = Hz × 60; angular velocity = Hz × 2π rad/s; period = 1 ÷ HzFrequently Asked Questions
How do I convert rpm to hertz?
Divide rpm by 60. A motor turning at 1,800 rpm has a frequency of 30 Hz.
Does rpm measure frequency?
It measures rotational speed, which is a frequency of rotation. The conversion is exact for steady rotation, but it does not account for acceleration or vibration.
