Radian per Second (rad/s)
The radian per second (rad/s) is the SI unit of angular velocity — how fast an angle increases, in radians per second.
Radians per second describe servo motors, robotics joint speeds, and physics problems in SI units.

Short background on the units used in this conversion.
The radian per second (rad/s) is the SI unit of angular velocity — how fast an angle increases, in radians per second.
Radians per second describe servo motors, robotics joint speeds, and physics problems in SI units.
Degrees per second (°/s) measure angular speed using ordinary degrees instead of radians — about 0.017453 rad/s per °/s.
Degrees per second rate pan-tilt camera heads, antenna slew speeds, and motion-control profiles in automation.
°/s = rad/s × 57.2957795129rad/s = °/s × 0.0174532925, using the same exact factors as this converter.Jump to any angular velocity conversion starting from radian per second — including the reverse direction and every other unit in our dataset.
