rpm to rad/s
1 rpm = 0.10472 rad/s
Motor nameplates, tachometers and drive settings all read in rpm, but the formulas that use rotation speed need rad/s — power from torque, centripetal acceleration, and anything with ω in it. The factor is 2π/60, about 0.1047. The mistake worth watching for is dividing by 60 and stopping: that gives revolutions per second, which is off by a factor of 6.28 and looks plausible enough to survive a review.

About Unit Converter
A unit converter changes a measurement from one unit to another. Pick a category — length, weight, temperature, data, area, speed, and 75+ more, including engineering and scientific units like pressure, torque, and viscosity — enter a value, and get an accurate conversion instantly. It runs in your browser with no sign-up and nothing to install.
Frequently asked questions
- How many unit categories are supported?
- Over 75, from everyday units (length, mass, temperature, volume, area, speed, data storage) to technical and scientific ones (energy, pressure, torque, viscosity, molar concentration, luminance, and more).
- Does it convert engineering and scientific units?
- Yes. Alongside common units it covers engineering and scientific categories — force, pressure, torque, thermal, flow, radiology, and CSS/typography units — with precise conversion factors.
- Are the conversions accurate?
- Yes. Conversions use standard factors and precise formulas, including non-linear ones like temperature, so results are exact.
- Do I need to install an app?
- No download needed — it's a free web app that runs in any modern browser on phone, tablet, or desktop, with nothing to install and nothing sent anywhere.
