How to Convert Angular Acceleration Units
Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity. The SI unit is radian per second squared (rad/s²); drive ramp rates are often set in rpm per second.
Every unit on this page is stored as a fixed factor relative to one reference unit, the radian per sq second (rad/s²). Converting is a two step multiply and divide:
- Multiply your value by the factor of the source unit to get the value in rad/s².
- Divide that result by the factor of the target unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SI unit of angular acceleration?
The SI unit of angular acceleration is the radian per sq second (rad/s²). Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity.
How do I convert rpm/s to rad/s²?
To convert rpm per second (rpm/s) to radian per sq second (rad/s²), multiply the value in rpm/s by 0.10472. For example, 1 rpm/s = 0.10472 rad/s².
How do I convert rad/s² to rpm/s?
To convert radian per sq second (rad/s²) to rpm per second (rpm/s), multiply the value in rad/s² by 9.5493. For example, 1 rad/s² = 9.5493 rpm/s.
How do I convert °/s² to rad/s²?
To convert degree per sq second (°/s²) to radian per sq second (rad/s²), multiply the value in °/s² by 0.0174533. For example, 1 °/s² = 0.0174533 rad/s².
Can I see a value in every angular acceleration unit at once?
Yes. Enter a value and choose the source unit; the "all units" table below the converter instantly lists the equivalent in all 6 supported units. Click any row to make it the target unit.
