What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to change angular velocity values measured in degrees per second (°/s) into revolutions per minute (r/min). It is useful in fields like robotics, automotive, aerospace, and industrial machinery to express rotational speeds uniformly.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in degree/second (°/s) that you want to convert.
-
Select revolution/minute (r/min) as the target unit.
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent rotational speed in r/min.
Key Features
-
Converts angular velocity between degree/second and revolution/minute accurately.
-
Includes commonly used units in rotational speed measurement for multiple applications.
-
Browser-based tool with an easy interface for quick conversions.
Examples
-
Convert 10 °/s to r/min: 10 × 0.1666666667 = 1.666666667 r/min
-
Convert 60 °/s to r/min: 60 × 0.1666666667 = 10 r/min
Common Use Cases
-
Interpreting gyroscope or IMU outputs reporting rotation rates for devices like drones and phones.
-
Specifying motor or joint speeds in robotics and motion control systems such as pan/tilt axes.
-
Analyzing vehicle or aircraft attitude rates (roll, pitch, yaw) for flight dynamics and control.
-
Measuring engine and drivetrain speeds in automotive tuning.
-
Monitoring rotational speed of electric motors, fans, and industrial machinery.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always confirm that the input rotational speed is steady to ensure meaningful conversions.
-
Use the converted value to compare directly with equipment RPM specifications or control settings.
-
Apply the conversion carefully in high precision scenarios to avoid rounding impacts.
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes uniform rotational speed and may not reflect instantaneous changes in velocity.
-
Differences in unit dimensionality (degrees vs full revolutions) may introduce rounding errors at high precision needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does degree/second measure?
-
Degree/second measures angular velocity as the rate of change of an angle in degrees per second.
-
When should I use revolution/minute units?
-
Revolution/minute is ideal for expressing rotational speeds as the number of complete turns per minute, common in motors and machinery.
-
How is one degree/second converted to revolutions per minute?
-
One degree/second equals 0.1666666667 revolutions per minute.
Key Terminology
-
Degree/second [°/s]
-
A measure of angular velocity defined as the amount of angular displacement in degrees occurring in one second.
-
Revolution/minute [r/min]
-
A unit of rotational speed that quantifies the number of complete rotations per minute.
-
Angular Velocity
-
The rate at which an object rotates or revolves relative to another point, expressed in units of angle per time.
