Angular Velocity Converter

Convert angular velocity among rad/s, rad/min, degrees per second or minute, RPM and revolutions per second while preserving signed direction.

How to use

Angular velocity describes the rate of angular change. It can be expressed in rad/s, degrees/s, RPM or revolutions/s; every conversion follows one full turn = 2π radians = 360 degrees.

  1. Enter angular velocity; negative values may represent reverse direction.
  2. Choose source and target units.
  3. Review the converted result and common equivalent units.

How it is calculated

1 revolution=2π rad=360°; 1 RPM=2π÷60 rad/s

Example

1500 RPM = 1500×2π÷60 ≈ 157.0796 rad/s = 9000°/s = 25 rev/s.

Important notes

This converter handles angular velocity only. Converting it to linear speed also requires a radius through v=ωr.

Frequently asked questions

How many rad/s is 1 RPM?

1 RPM = 2π/60 ≈ 0.104719755 rad/s.

Can angular velocity be negative?

Yes. The converter preserves the sign as a rotation-direction convention.

Is Hz the same as rad/s?

Not directly. If Hz means revolutions per second, angular velocity is ω=2πf.

Is this calculator free?

Yes. It is free to use and requires no account.
