Convertidor de Velocidad a RPM

Convierta la velocidad en carretera a RPM del motor o del eje de transmisión, o RPM a velocidad, a partir del diámetro del neumático y una relación de marcha.

RPM = speed (mph) x gear ratio x 336.14 / tire diameter (in). The "336.14" constant is the exact form of the commonly-rounded 336.

Cómo funciona

What this converts: enter a tire diameter and an overall gear ratio (the selected gear's ratio multiplied by the final-drive ratio, or 1 for a direct driveshaft-to-wheel check), then either a road speed to find the resulting RPM, or an RPM to find the resulting road speed.

Formula. RPM = MPH × gear ratio × (336.14) ÷ tire diameter (inches). The constant comes from converting miles-per-hour into inches travelled per minute (63,360 ÷ 60) and dividing by π to turn that into wheel revolutions - it's the precise version of the 336 constant used in most driveline reference charts.

Example. A 26-inch tire with a 3.55 overall ratio at 60 mph turns about 2754 RPM.

Antes de usar el resultado

  • Measure from the datum or reference edge described by this tool, and do not mix inside, outside and centerline dimensions.
  • Keep inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final cutting or purchasing tolerance requires.
  • When the result is close to a limit, verify it with a test piece, field measurement, manufacturer drawing or qualified project professional.

Limitaciones

This is drivetrain gearing math only, not a tire-fitment check. It assumes no wheelspin, converter or clutch slip, and that the tire diameter entered is the actual rolling diameter rather than the nominal sidewall figure. For a full multi-gear plan across an entire transmission, use the Gear Ratio, Road Speed & RPM Planner instead.

Preguntas frecuentes

What gear ratio should I enter for a driveshaft RPM check?

Enter 1. That treats the ratio input as a pass-through, so the result is wheel/driveshaft RPM directly rather than engine RPM through a transmission gear.

Why does a bigger tire lower RPM at the same speed?

A larger tire covers more ground per revolution, so it needs fewer revolutions - and therefore lower RPM through a fixed gear ratio - to cover the same distance in the same time.

Should I use nominal or measured tire diameter?

Measured (loaded/rolling) diameter gives a more accurate result. Nominal sidewall diameter is close but real tires rarely match it exactly.
