How to Convert Revolutions per Minute to Cycles per Second
To convert a measurement in revolutions per minute to a measurement in cycles per second, divide the frequency by the following conversion ratio: 60 revolutions per minute/cycle per second.
Since one cycle per second is equal to 60 revolutions per minute, you can use this simple formula to convert:
cycles per second = revolutions per minute ÷ 60
The frequency in cycles per second is equal to the frequency in revolutions per minute divided by 60.
For example, here's how to convert 5 revolutions per minute to cycles per second using the formula above.
cycles per second = (5 RPM ÷ 60) = 0.083333 cps
Revolutions per minute and cycles per second are both units used to measure frequency. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
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

What Are Cycles per Second?
Cycles per second are a measure of the number of oscillations, or cycles, that occur per second.
Cycles per second can be abbreviated as cps, and are also sometimes abbreviated as c/s or cycles/second. For example, 1 cycle per second can be written as 1 cps, 1 c/s, or 1 cycles/second.
Cycles per second can be expressed using the formula: cps = Cycles / Times
