Convert hertz to rps by entering a value below.
How to Convert Hertz to RPS
The hertz and revolutions per second are both units of frequency. By definition, 1 hertz equals exactly 1 rps. This means to convert hertz to rps, you multiply by 1.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 Hz to rps:
We need to convert hertz to rps
Since 1 Hz = 1 RPS, multiply by 1
5 × 1 = 5
5 Hz = 5 RPS

About These Units
Hertz (Hz)
The hertz (Hz) is the SI unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second. Hertz measures sound pitch (human hearing: 20-20,000 Hz), AC power (50/60 Hz), and oscillations. Middle C on a piano is 261.63 Hz. Named after physicist Heinrich Hertz.
Revolutions per Second (RPS)
Revolutions per second (RPS) equals hertz for rotational motion—one complete rotation per second. Ceiling fans typically rotate at 1-4 RPS. Centrifuges operate at hundreds to thousands of RPS. Used in scientific and engineering contexts.
