How to convert revolutions per minute to revolutions per second
rev/s = rpm × 0.01666666667Because one revolution per second equals 60 revolutions per minute, you can also divide: rev/s = rpm ÷ 60.
A revolution per minute is smaller than a revolution per second: it takes 60 revolutions per minute to make one revolution per second.

About the units
Revolution per minute (rpm)
Full turns per minute; the standard way to state engine, motor and disk speeds. One revolution per minute equals 0.1047197551 radians per second (rad/s).
Revolution per second (rev/s)
The revolution per second (rev/s) is a unit of angular velocity. One revolution per second equals 6.283185307 radians per second (rad/s).
Frequently asked questions
How many revolutions per second are in one revolution per minute?
There are 0.01666666667 revolutions per second in one revolution per minute, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert revolutions per minute to revolutions per second?
Multiply the number of revolutions per minute by 0.01666666667. For example, 10 rpm × 0.01666666667 = 0.1666666667 rev/s.
How many revolutions per minute are in one revolution per second?
One revolution per second equals 60 revolutions per minute. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 0.01666666667.
What is 10 revolutions per minute in revolutions per second?
10 rpm = 0.1666666667 rev/s.
Is this rpm to rev/s converter accurate?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
