RPM to G-Force Calculator

Calculate G-Force from RPM



Formula

To calculate the G-Force (GF) from RPM:

\[ GF = \left( \frac{r \times 2 \times \pi \times RPM}{60} \right)^2 \div r \div 9.81 \]

Where:

Can RPM be converted to G-Force?

RPM can be converted to G-force if you also know the radius of rotation. In this example, the RPM is first converted to tangential velocity, then the number of G-forces is calculated.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ GF = \left( \frac{0.5 \times 2 \times \pi \times 3000}{60} \right)^2 \div 0.5 \div 9.81 = 5030.38 \]

The G-Force is 5030.38.
