FORMULA & EXAMPLES
How to convert Revolutions per minute to hertz
Hz = rpm ÷ 60
Divide the rpm reading by 60.
Worked examples
60 rpm ≈ 1 Hz
60 ÷ 60 ≈ 1
3000 rpm ≈ 50 Hz
3000 ÷ 60 ≈ 50
Frequently asked questions
Does rpm to hertz include a 2π factor?
No. A revolution is one full cycle, so 60 rpm is 1 Hz. Angular frequency in radians per second uses a different relationship involving 2π.
