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