What Is This Tool?

This unit converter allows you to translate angular velocity values from degree per second (°/s), which measures rotational speed in degrees, to radian per second (rad/s), the standard SI unit expressing angular displacement per second in radians.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the angular velocity value in degree/second (°/s)
  • Select degree/second as the input unit and radian/second as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent value in radian/second (rad/s)
  • Use the example conversions to verify and understand the results

Key Features

  • Converts angular velocity from degree/second to radian/second using the exact conversion factor
  • Browser-based and easy to use without installation
  • Supports standard angular velocity units commonly used in engineering and physics
  • Provides examples for quick reference of typical conversions

Examples

  • Convert 30 °/s to rad/s: 30 × 0.0174532925 = 0.523598775 rad/s
  • Convert 90 °/s to rad/s: 90 × 0.0174532925 = 1.570796325 rad/s

Common Use Cases

  • Interpreting sensor data from gyroscopes and inertial measurement units reporting rotation rates in degrees per second
  • Setting rotational speeds of motors or robotic joints for motion control systems using SI units
  • Analyzing aircraft or vehicle attitude rates such as roll, pitch, and yaw in flight dynamics
  • Expressing shaft speeds and angular rates in mechanical and electrical engineering calculations

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure that angular velocity measurements are taken under stable conditions to reduce noise and drift
  • Use radians per second for engineering and physics calculations requiring SI units
  • Double-check conversions with provided examples to confirm accuracy
  • Apply conversions consistently when interfacing between sensors and control systems

Limitations

  • Conversion assumes ideal instantaneous measurements; real sensors may introduce noise or drift
  • Does not consider vector direction or three-dimensional components of angular velocity
  • Only converts angular velocity magnitude without accounting for additional physical parameters

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert from degree/second to radian/second?
Converting to radian/second aligns angular velocity measurements with the SI system, facilitating standard calculations in engineering, physics, and robotics.

What is the conversion factor between degree/second and radian/second?
1 degree/second equals approximately 0.0174532925 radian/second.

Can this conversion be used for all angular velocity measurements?
It is suitable for scalar angular velocity values but does not handle vector components or multidimensional directionality.

Key Terminology
