How to Convert Revolution Per Minute to Hertz

1 revolution per minute = 0.0166667 hertz exact

Hertz = Revolution Per Minute × 0.0166667

Example: 3600 rpm × 0.0166667 = 60 Hz

Reverse Conversion

To convert hertz back to revolutions per minute:

  • Remember, 1 hertz equals 60 revolutions per minute.
  • To convert 60 Hz to rpm, multiply 60 x 60, resulting in 3600 rpm.

exact This conversion factor is exact by international definition.

3,600 RPM equals exactly 60 Hz — the synchronous speed of a 2-pole motor on 60 Hz power. This direct relationship is why 60 Hz = 3,600 RPM is a fundamental reference in electrical engineering.

3600 rpm is also equal to:

  • 0.06 kilohertz
About these units

Revolution per minute: Unit of rotational frequency; number of complete revolutions per minute.

Hertz: SI unit of frequency; one cycle (or event) per second. Symbol: Hz = s⁻¹
