-
Choose 'revolution/minute/second' as the output unit
-
Click the convert button to get the result instantly
-
Use the converted value to better understand angular acceleration in per-second terms
Key Features
-
Converts angular acceleration between rev/min² and rev/min/s units
-
Simple and quick input and output interface
-
Browser-based and accessible without installation
-
Suitable for a range of industries including manufacturing and motor control
-
Helps compare rotational acceleration measured over different time scales
Examples
-
10 revolution/square minute converts to 0.166666667 revolution/minute/second
-
60 revolution/square minute converts to 1 revolution/minute/second
Common Use Cases
-
Defining spin-up or spin-down ramp rates for centrifuges and industrial mixers measured in rpm over minutes
-
Documenting motor startup and stopping profiles where rotational acceleration is tracked per minute
-
Testing and calibrating slow-changing rotors or large mechanical systems on a minute timebase
-
Specifying motor or spindle acceleration rates indicating how many RPM the shaft gains per second in CNC machines
-
Characterizing transient response and acceleration in automotive engines and drivetrain systems
-
Describing startup profiles of rotating devices such as hard drives and turbines
Tips & Best Practices
-
Be aware of the difference in time scale when using these units—minute squared versus per second
-
Choose revolution/minute/second for analyzing rapid or dynamic acceleration events
-
Use revolution/square minute when dealing with slow or gradual rotational speed changes
-
Double-check conversions especially when applying them in motor control or industrial settings
-
Understand the context to select the most appropriate angular acceleration unit for your application
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes consistent timebases and does not reconcile time scale differences inherently
-
Revolution/minute/second is better for fast changes while revolution/square minute suits slower accelerations
-
Misapplication can occur if time intervals are not properly accounted for in analysis or control systems
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does revolution per square minute measure?
-
It quantifies angular acceleration as the change in revolutions per minute each minute, measuring how rotational speed changes over time squared in minutes.
-
When should I use revolution per minute per second instead?
-
Use revolution per minute per second when you need to express how many revolutions per minute increase or decrease occur each second, ideal for faster rotational speed changes.
-
Is the conversion from revolution/square minute to revolution/minute/second simple?
-
Yes, this tool uses a fixed conversion rate where 1 revolution/square minute equals 0.0166666667 revolution/minute/second.
Key Terminology
-
Revolution per square minute (rev/min²)
-
An angular acceleration unit indicating the rate of change in revolutions per minute per minute.
-
Revolution per minute per second (rev/min/s)
-
An angular acceleration unit describing how many revolutions per minute increase or decrease per second.
-
Angular acceleration
-
The rate at which an object's rotational velocity changes with time.
