Calculated Output

Linear speed 15.708

Linear speed 56.549

Formula: v = π × diameter × RPM ÷ 60

Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. Values used:

2. Rotation speed = 500 RPM

3. Diameter = 0.6

5. Linear speed = 15.708

6. Linear speed = 56.549

Did this calculator solve your problem today?

The math behind it

v = π × diameter × RPM ÷ 60 (the circumference times revolutions per second).

500 RPM, 0.6 m wheel → 15.7 m/s (56.5 km/h).

Use?

Vehicle speed from wheel RPM, or conveyor speed.
