How to Convert RPM to Cycles per Second
To convert revolutions per minute (rpm) to cycles per second (cps), divide the number of rpm by 60. This is because 1 cycle per second is equal to 60 revolutions per minute.
Formula
Cycles per Second = RPM ÷ 60
or
cps = rpm ÷ 60
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in rpm
- Divide that number by 60
- The result is the equivalent frequency in cycles per second
Examples
- 60 rpm = 60 ÷ 60 = 1 cps
- 300 rpm = 300 ÷ 60 = 5 cps
- 600 rpm = 600 ÷ 60 = 10 cps
