About angular velocity units
Convert rad/s, rpm, degrees per second and revolutions per second.
Distinct from frequency: one revolution per second is 1 Hz but 2π rad/s. Mixing the two is a classic source of factor-of-6.28 errors in motor control.
Dimensional formula: T⁻¹. Every conversion on this page goes through the radian per second, using exact fractions rather than decimal approximations. Read how that works →
