What is Hz to RPM Converter?

This tool converts Hertz (Hz) to Revolutions per Minute (RPM) quickly and accurately. Whether you're working with electronics, audio, video, or mechanical systems, this converter provides instant results.

Understanding the Units

Hertz (Hz): The SI base unit of frequency. One Hertz equals one cycle per second. Used universally in science and engineering.

Revolutions per Minute (RPM): Standard unit for rotational speed. Used for engines, motors, fans, hard drives, and turntables.

Common Applications

Automotive: Engine speed and tachometer readings
Motors: Electric motor and fan specifications
Manufacturing: Machine spindle and tool speeds

Privacy

All conversions happen in your browser. No data is stored or sent to any server.

How to Use

Converting Hz to RPM takes just seconds:

Enter the Hz value in the first input field
View the RPM result instantly in the second field
Copy the result using the copy button if needed

Reverse Conversion

Need to convert RPM to Hz instead? Simply click the swap button (↔) to reverse the conversion direction, or type in the RPM field directly.

Practical Example

A 50 Hz mains frequency equals 3,000 RPM. This helps when working with power grid to motor speed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert Hz to RPM?

To convert Hertz to Revolutions per Minute, multiply the Hz value by 60.00. For example, 1 Hz = 60.00 RPM.

What is the formula for Hz to RPM?

The conversion formula is: RPM = Hz × 60.00. To convert back: Hz = RPM × 0.0167.

What is Hertz?

The SI base unit of frequency. One Hertz equals one cycle per second. Used universally in science and engineering.

What is Revolutions per Minute?

Standard unit for rotational speed. Used for engines, motors, fans, hard drives, and turntables.

Why is 60 RPM equal to 1 Hz?

RPM means revolutions per minute, while Hz means cycles per second. Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 RPM (60 revolutions per minute) equals 1 Hz (1 revolution per second).

Is this converter accurate?

Yes, the converter uses mathematically precise conversion factors. Results are accurate for scientific, engineering, and professional applications.

Can I convert other frequency units?

Yes, use the dropdown menus to select from many frequency units including Hz, kHz, MHz, GHz, THz, RPM, rad/s, BPM, FPS, and more.
