  2. Revolutions per minute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutions_per_minute

    1 / 60 ⁠ Hz = 0.01 6 Hz. SI base units. 0.01 6 s −1. 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. 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.

  4. Piston motion equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_motion_equations

    The reciprocating motion of a non-offset piston connected to a rotating crank through a connecting rod (as would be found in internal combustion engines) can be expressed by equations of motion. This article shows how these equations of motion can be derived using calculus as functions of angle (angle domain) and of time (time domain).

  5. Motor constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_constants

    Motor velocity constant, back EMF constant. is the motor velocity, or motor speed, [2] constant (not to be confused with kV, the symbol for kilovolt), measured in revolutions per minute (RPM) per volt or radians per volt second, rad/V·s: [3] The rating of a brushless motor is the ratio of the motor's unloaded rotational speed (measured in RPM ...

  6. Tangential speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_speed

    Tangential speed is the speed of an object undergoing circular motion, i.e., moving along a circular path. [1] A point on the outside edge of a merry-go-round or turntable travels a greater distance in one complete rotation than a point nearer the center. Travelling a greater distance in the same time means a greater speed, and so linear speed ...

  7. Rolling resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_resistance

    Definitions. In the broad sense, specific "rolling resistance" (for vehicles) is the force per unit vehicle weight required to move the vehicle on level ground at a constant slow speed where aerodynamic drag (air resistance) is insignificant and also where there are no traction (motor) forces or brakes applied.

  8. Root mean square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_mean_square

    hide. In mathematics, the root mean square (abbrev. RMS, RMS or rms) of a set of numbers is the square root of the set's mean square. 1 Given a set , its RMS is denoted as either or . The RMS is also known as the quadratic mean (denoted ), [ 2 ][ 3 ] a special case of the generalized mean. The RMS of a continuous function is denoted and can be ...

  9. Specific speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_speed

    Specific speed is an index used to predict desired pump or turbine performance. i.e. it predicts the general shape of a pump's impeller. It is this impeller's "shape" that predicts its flow and head characteristics so that the designer can then select a pump or turbine most appropriate for a particular application.
