RPM to Hertz

What is RPM to Hz Converter?

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

Understanding the Units

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

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

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 RPM to Hz takes just seconds:

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

Reverse Conversion

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

Practical Example

A 3600 RPM motor equals 60.00 Hz. This helps when working with motor speed to frequency.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert RPM to Hz?

To convert Revolutions per Minute to Hertz, multiply the RPM value by 0.0167. For example, 1 RPM = 0.0167 Hz.

What is the formula for RPM to Hz?

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

What is Revolutions per Minute?

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

What is Hertz?

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

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.
