  2. Revolutions per minute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutions_per_minute

    Revolutions per minute (abbreviated rpm, RPM, rev/min, r/min, or r⋅min −1) is a unit of rotational speed (or rotational frequency) for rotating machines. One revolution per minute is equivalent to ⁠ 1 / 60 ⁠ hertz.

  3. Rotational frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_frequency

    Rotational frequency, also known as rotational speed or rate of rotation (symbols ν, lowercase Greek nu, and also n), is the frequency of rotation of an object around an axis. Its SI unit is the reciprocal seconds (s −1 ); other common units of measurement include the hertz (Hz), cycles per second (cps), and revolutions per minute (rpm).

  4. Speeds and feeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeds_and_feeds

    Cutting speed may be defined as the rate at the workpiece surface, irrespective of the machining operation used. A cutting speed for mild steel of 100 ft/min is the same whether it is the speed of the cutter passing over the workpiece, such as in a turning operation, or the speed of the cutter moving past a workpiece, such as in a milling operation.

  5. Specific speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_speed

    Specific speed N s, is used to characterize turbomachinery speed. [1] Common commercial and industrial practices use dimensioned versions which are of equal utility. Specific speed is most commonly used in pump applications to define the suction specific speed —a quasi non-dimensional number that categorizes pump impellers as to their type and proportions.

  7. Induction motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_motor

    For example, for a four-pole, three-phase motor, = 4 and = = 1,500 RPM (for = 50 Hz) and 1,800 RPM (for = 60 Hz) synchronous speed. The number of magnetic poles, p {\displaystyle p} , is the number of north and south poles per phase.

  8. Mean piston speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_piston_speed

    The mean piston speed is the average speed of the piston in a reciprocating engine. It is a function of stroke and RPM. There is a factor of 2 in the equation to account for one stroke to occur in 1/2 of a crank revolution (or alternatively: two strokes per one crank revolution) and a '60' to convert seconds from minutes in the RPM term.

  9. Torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque

    where rotational speed is in revolutions per minute (rpm, rev/min). Some people (e.g., American automotive engineers) use horsepower (mechanical) for power, foot-pounds (lbf⋅ft) for torque and rpm for rotational speed. This results in the formula changing to:
