What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms angular velocity values from radian per second (rad/s) to radian per minute (rad/min), allowing users to express rotational speed over a longer time interval. It is helpful in various engineering, robotics, and control system scenarios.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in radian per second to be converted.
-
Select 'radian/second [rad/s]' as the input unit.
-
Choose 'radian/minute [rad/min]' as the output unit.
-
Click the convert button to get the result displayed instantly.
-

Key Features
-
Converts angular velocity between radian/second and radian/minute units.
-
Browser-based and easy to use without installation.
-
Supports common applications in mechanical and electrical engineering.
-
Displays clear step-by-step conversion according to standard formulas.
-
Helps maintain unit consistency across different measurement systems.
Examples
-
Convert 2 rad/s: 2 × 60 = 120 rad/min.
-
Convert 0.5 rad/s: 0.5 × 60 = 30 rad/min.
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying shaft or motor rotational speed in mechanical and electrical engineering.
-
Describing joint or angular rates in robotics and control systems.
-
Reporting low-speed rotation in laboratory instruments and automation equipment.
-
Expressing rotational rates in vibration analysis and dynamics simulations.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always confirm the unit of angular velocity before converting.
-
Use the converter to maintain consistency when handling multiple angular velocity units.
-
Apply this conversion when longer time intervals for angular measurement are needed.
-
Be cautious when interpreting results for very high-speed rotations due to time resolution effects.
Limitations
-
Radian/minute measures angular velocity over a longer time frame, which may reduce time resolution for high-speed rotations.
-
Ensure all related measurements maintain consistent angular velocity units to avoid errors.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why convert from radian/second to radian/minute?
-
Converting to radian/minute helps express angular velocity over longer durations, useful in slower speed measurements and instrumentation using per-minute units.
-
What is the conversion rate between radian/second and radian/minute?
-
The conversion rate is 1 radian/second equals 60 radian/minute.
-
Can this conversion be used for high-speed rotations?
-
While possible, radian/minute may reduce time resolution for very high-speed rotations, so it's best used for moderate or low-speed applications.
Key Terminology
-
Radian/second [rad/s]
-
An SI derived unit measuring angular velocity as radians swept per second, used in various mechanical and control system applications.
-
Radian/minute [rad/min]
-
An SI derived unit measuring angular velocity as radians swept per minute, often used in automation and low-speed rotational measurements.
-
Angular velocity
-
The rate at which an object rotates or changes its angular position, typically measured in radians per unit time.
