To convert frequency in Hz to revolutions per minute, multiply the Hz value by 60, because one Hz equals one cycle per second, and there are 60 seconds in a minute. So, 60 Hz times 60 gives the RPM, which is 3600 RPM.
What is the conversion from 60 Hz to RPM?
Converting 60 Hz to RPM involves understanding that Hz measures cycles per second, while RPM measures revolutions per minute. Since one cycle per second equals 60 revolutions per minute, multiplying the Hz value by 60 gives the RPM. For example, 60 Hz is 60 * 60 = 3600 RPM.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert Hz to RPM is RPM = Hz * 60. This works because 1 Hz equates to one cycle per second, and there are 60 seconds in a minute. Multiplying Hz by 60 transforms cycles per second into revolutions per minute. For example, 10 Hz becomes 10 * 60 = 600 RPM.
Conversion Example
- Convert 50 Hz to RPM:
- Hz = 50
- Multiply by 60: 50 * 60
- Result: 3000 RPM
- Convert 100 Hz to RPM:
- Hz = 100
- Multiply by 60: 100 * 60
- Result: 6000 RPM
- Convert 75 Hz to RPM:
- Hz = 75
- Multiply by 60: 75 * 60
- Result: 4500 RPM
- Convert 120 Hz to RPM:
- Hz = 120
- Multiply by 60: 120 * 60
- Result: 7200 RPM
- Convert 25 Hz to RPM:
- Hz = 25
- Multiply by 60: 25 * 60
- Result: 1500 RPM

Conversion Definitions
hz
Hz, or hertz, measures how many cycles or vibrations happen each second. It shows the frequency of an event, like a wave or rotation, and is used in physics and engineering to describe how often something repeats within a second.
rpm
RPM, or revolutions per minute, indicates how many complete turns or rotations an object makes in one minute. It helps describe the speed of rotating machinery, like motors, fans, or wheels, providing a clear measure of rotational velocity.
Conversion FAQs
How does changing the Hz value affect RPM in a motor?
Increasing the Hz value directly increases the RPM because the two are proportional, with RPM = Hz * 60. Doubling Hz doubles RPM, making the motor spin faster, while reducing Hz slows it down.
Can I convert Hz to RPM for non-mechanical systems?
Yes, but only if the system’s rotation or oscillation directly correlates to frequency in Hz. For example, certain electronic oscillators or signal generators use Hz to describe their switching speed, which can be related to RPM if they are linked to physical rotations.
What happens if I input a negative Hz value into the converter?
Negative Hz values are not physically meaningful for rotation speeds. The conversion tool will treat it as a negative number, but in real systems, frequency cannot be negative, so the RPM should be considered as a positive value or invalid input.
