What does meter per second (m/s) represent?

Meter per second (m/s) is the SI derived unit of speed indicating one meter of distance traveled in one second and is used in velocity measurements.

When should I use millimeter per second (mm/s)?

Millimeter per second is ideal for describing very low speeds, vibration velocities, or precise motion control tasks in engineering and manufacturing.

How do I convert from meter/second to millimeter/second?

Multiply the speed value in meter/second by 1000, since 1 m/s equals 1000 mm/s.
