Cycles per second to Revolutions per minute Converter
1 cycle per second (cps) equals 60 revolutions per minute (rpm).
Quick answer
- 1 cycle per second = 60 revolutions per minute
- 1 revolution per minute = 0.01666666667 cycles per second
- Formula: rpm = cps × 60
1 cycle per second = 60 revolutions per minute
How to convert cycles per second to revolutions per minute
rpm = cps × 60
To convert cycles per second to revolutions per minute, multiply the number of cycles per second by 60.
Example: 10 cps to rpm
- Start with the value in cycles per second: 10 cps.
- Multiply by 60: 10 × 60 = 600.
- Result: 10 cycles per second = 600 revolutions per minute.
Going the other way, 1 revolution per minute = 0.016666666667 cycles per second, so to convert revolutions per minute back to cycles per second you divide by the same number. See revolutions per minute to cycles per second.

What is a cycle per second?
Cycles per second was the name for the hertz before the SI adopted "hertz" in 1960; older radio and electronics books use cps and kc (kilocycles).
What is a revolution per minute?
Revolutions per minute (rpm) measure how fast something spins: engines, motors, hard drives, washing machines and records.
