Hertz to RPM Converter

1 Hertz equals 60 RPM (rpm). Frequency is measured in hertz (Hz), meaning cycles per second. Audio signals span 20 Hz–20 kHz, radio frequencies range from kHz to GHz, and processor clocks operate in the gigahertz range. Use the converter below to change any hertz value into rpm instantly.

Frequently asked questions

How many RPM are in a Hertz?

1 Hertz equals 60 RPM.

How do you convert Hertz to RPM?

Use the formula: RPM = Hertz Ɨ 60. For example, 10 Hertz equals 600 RPM.

What is 1 Hertz in RPM?

1 Hertz (Hz) is equal to 60 RPM (rpm).

What is a hertz?

The hertz (Hz) is the SI unit of frequency, equal to one cycle per second. It is named after German physicist Heinrich Hertz, who demonstrated electromagnetic waves in 1886. Frequency describes how many times a repeating event — a wave cycle, a clock tick, a rotation — occurs per second.

How does frequency relate to RPM?

RPM (revolutions per minute) is a non-SI unit of rotational frequency. To convert RPM to hertz: divide by 60 (since there are 60 seconds in a minute). For example, 3,600 RPM = 60 Hz. To convert Hz to RPM: multiply by 60.
