1. Convert to base units
rad/s2 = input value x input unit factor
Every supported angular acceleration unit is stored as a factor relative to radians per second squared.
Mechanical unit converter
Convert angular acceleration units for rotating machinery, dynamics, controls, motors, and mechanical design calculations.

Common conversions
| Conversion | Factor | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| rad/s2 to deg/s2 | deg/s2 = rad/s2 x 57.2957795 | Controls and dynamics |
| deg/s2 to rad/s2 | rad/s2 = deg/s2 x pi / 180 | SI calculations |
| rev/s2 to rad/s2 | rad/s2 = rev/s2 x 2 pi | Rotating machinery |
| rpm/s to rad/s2 | rad/s2 = rpm/s x 2 pi / 60 | Motor ramp rates |
| rpm/min to rad/s2 | rad/s2 = rpm/min x 2 pi / 3600 | Slow speed ramps |
| rad/s2 to rpm/s | rpm/s = rad/s2 x 60 / 2 pi | Drive setup |
How it works
rad/s2 = input value x input unit factor
Every supported angular acceleration unit is stored as a factor relative to radians per second squared.
target value = base value / target unit factor
The selected result and table values are calculated from the same base value.
rounding depends on scale
Very small and very large values use compact scientific notation to stay readable.
