How to Convert Hertz to Revolutions per Minute

Reviewed by

To convert a measurement in hertz to a measurement in revolutions per minute, multiply the frequency by the following conversion ratio: 60 revolutions per minute/hertz.

Since one hertz is equal to 60 revolutions per minute, you can use this simple formula to convert:

revolutions per minute = hertz × 60

The frequency in revolutions per minute is equal to the frequency in hertz multiplied by 60.

For example, here's how to convert 5 hertz to revolutions per minute using the formula above.

revolutions per minute = (5 Hz × 60) = 300 RPM

How Many Revolutions per Minute Are in a Hertz?

There are 60 revolutions per minute in a hertz, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 Hz = 60 RPM

Hertz and revolutions per minute are both units used to measure frequency. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Is a Hertz?

One hertz is formally defined as the frequency of one cycle per second.^[1]

The hertz is the SI derived unit for frequency in the metric system. Hertz can be abbreviated as Hz; for example, 1 hertz can be written as 1 Hz.

Frequency in hertz can be expressed using the formula:

Hz = Cycles / Time in Seconds

What Are Revolutions per Minute?

Revolutions per minute are a measure of the number of rotations, turns, or revolutions, that an object makes each minute.

Revolutions per minute can be abbreviated as RPM, and are also sometimes abbreviated as rev/min or r/min. For example, 1 revolution per minute can be written as 1 RPM, 1 rev/min, or 1 r/min.

Revolutions per minute can be expressed using the formula:

RPM = Revolutions / Time in Minutes
