Use this rpm-angular to degrees-per-second converter to change a revolution per minute measurement into its degree per second equivalent. Enter a number in the calculator above and the result updates instantly.
Angular velocity conversions are useful for motors, rotating machinery, wheels, turbines, robotics, physics, and motion analysis.
What is a revolution per minute?
Revolution per Minute (rpm) is a angular velocity unit.
What is a degree per second?
Degree per Second (deg/s) is a angular velocity unit.
Rpm Angular to Degrees Per Second Converter formula
To convert revolutions per minute to degrees per second, use the formula below.
1 rpm = 6 deg/s. This relationship is the conversion factor used by the calculator.
How to convert rpm-angular to degrees-per-second
Start with the revolution per minute value, apply the formula, and round the result only after the calculation is complete.
Example: 10 rpm = 60 deg/s.
- 1 rpm = 6 deg/s
- 10 rpm = 60 deg/s
- 100 rpm = 600 deg/s
Manual conversion steps
- Write down the value in revolutions per minute.
- Use the conversion formula: degrees per second = revolutions per minute x 6.
- Calculate the result in degrees per second.
- Round the answer to the number of decimal places you need.
For quick checking, the converter above performs the same calculation automatically.
Common rpm-angular to degrees-per-second use cases
This conversion is useful in practical situations where measurements need to move between different unit systems or audiences.
- Convert revolutions per minute to degrees per second when you need equivalent measurements in another unit.
Common mistakes when converting rpm-angular to degrees-per-second
These are the most common issues to watch for when doing this conversion by hand.
- Do not mix up the direction of the conversion. rpm-angular to degrees-per-second is not the same as degrees-per-second to rpm-angular.
- Avoid rounding too early. Keep the full result during the calculation, then round the final answer.

How to convert degrees-per-second to rpm-angular
To reverse the conversion, switch the two units in the calculator or open the reverse conversion page: degrees-per-second to rpm-angular.
Reversing the units is useful when you already have a value in degrees per second and need the equivalent value in revolutions per minute.
How to use this rpm-angular to degrees-per-second converter
- Enter the number you want to convert in the value field.
- Confirm that the from unit is Revolution per Minute and the to unit is Degree per Second.
- Read the converted result in the result box.
- Use the copy button if you want to paste the answer elsewhere.
