How to Convert Revolution Per Minute to Hertz

1 revolution per minute = 0.0166667 hertz exact

Hertz = Revolution Per Minute × 0.0166667

Example: 1000 rpm × 0.0166667 = 16.667 Hz

Reverse Conversion

To convert hertz back to revolutions per minute:

  • Remember, 1 hertz equals 60 revolutions per minute.
  • To convert 16.667 Hz to rpm, multiply 16.667 x 60, resulting in 1000 rpm.

exact This conversion factor is exact by international definition.

1,000 RPM equals 16.67 Hz — a common speed for ceiling fans on medium setting. Also the typical spin speed of a front-loading washing machine.

1000 rpm is also equal to:

  • 0.016667 kilohertz
