What Is This Tool?

This converter allows users to transform angular velocity values measured in degree per minute (°/min) into the SI standard unit radian per second (rad/s). It simplifies the translation of slow rotational speeds into a unit widely used in physics, engineering, and control systems.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the angular velocity value in degree per minute (°/min).
  • Select degree/minute as the input unit and radian/second as the output unit.
  • Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent angular velocity in rad/s.
  • Use the result for engineering calculations, physics models, or system design.

Key Features

  • Converts angular velocity from degree/minute to radian/second accurately.
  • Supports applications in engineering, robotics, astronomy, and surveillance.
  • Based on the precise conversion rate: 1 °/min equals 0.0002908882 rad/s.
  • Browser-based and easy to use with step-by-step guidance.
  • Helps ensure compatibility with SI units for technical calculations.

Examples

  • 10 °/min converts to 0.002908882 rad/s by multiplying by 0.0002908882.
  • 50 °/min converts to 0.01454441 rad/s using the same conversion factor.

Common Use Cases

  • Tracking and slew rate control in astronomical telescopes.
  • Setting pan or tilt speeds for surveillance and time-lapse cameras.
  • Calculating slow rotational speeds of radar and antenna assemblies.
  • Analyzing motor shaft speeds and torque in mechanical and electrical engineering.
  • Modeling joint movements in robotics and control systems.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use degree/minute units for slow angular velocities and radian/second for standard measurements.
  • Double-check the entered values to avoid conversion errors.
  • Apply the converted rad/s values in engineering and physics models requiring SI units.
  • Be mindful of numerical precision when converting very small angular velocities.

Limitations

  • Degree/minute is less suitable for high-speed rotational measurements compared to radian/second.
  • Conversion accuracy relies on floating-point calculations so very small velocities may need careful handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert degree per minute to radian per second?
