RPM to Hertz Converter

1 RPM equals 0.016667 Hertz (Hz). 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 rpm value into hertz instantly.

Frequently asked questions

How many Hertz are in a RPM?

1 RPM equals 0.016667 Hertz.

How do you convert RPM to Hertz?

Use the formula: Hertz = RPM Ɨ 0.0166666667. For example, 10 RPM equals 0.166667 Hertz.

What is 1 RPM in Hertz?

1 RPM (rpm) is equal to 0.016667 Hertz (Hz).

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.
