Formula
rps = cycles/min × 0.01666667
Multiply any value in cycles per minute by 0.01666667 to obtain the value in revolutions per second.
Worked example
Convert 600 cycles/min to rps.
- 01Start with 600 cycles/min.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 600 × 0.01666667 = 10 rps.
Result600 cycles/min = 10 rps

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from cycles/min to rps?
1 cycles/min equals 0.01666667 rps. To convert, multiply the value in cycles per minute by 0.01666667.
How do I convert 1 cycles/min to rps?
1 cycles/min = 0.0166667 rps. For any value, multiply by 0.01666667.
How do I convert rps back to cycles/min?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 60. So 1 rps = 60 cycles/min.
When would I need to convert cycle per minute to revolution per second?
Frequency conversions between cycles/min and rps are needed in signal and RF engineering, motor and turbomachinery rotational-speed work, vibration and pulse-rate analysis, and control-loop sample-rate specification. Hz dominates electronics and instrumentation; kHz, MHz and GHz cover audio through microwave; rpm and rps dominate mechanical rotational equipment; cycles per minute, second and hour cover slow industrial cyclic processes. Angular frequency (rad/s) and time-period (Hz ↔ seconds) conversions are NOT included — they require either a 2π factor or a reciprocal relationship.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
