RPM → Linear Speed Calculator

Convert rotational speed (RPM) to linear speed. Calculate linear velocity based on diameter, radius, or circumference. Essential for motor and conveyor calculations.

Formula

Linear Speed (v) = (π × D × RPM) / 60

  • v = Linear speed (m/s)
  • π = 3.14159...
  • D = Diameter (m)
  • RPM = Revolutions per minute

Note: The formula converts RPM to linear speed by multiplying the circumference (π × D) by the rotational speed (RPM) and dividing by 60 to get meters per second.
