Calculation
v = π · d · n / 60
Diameter and rotational speed set the linear rim speed.
v = πdn/60

Result
Select a target and calculate.
Understand the inputs
- Tangential speed v — Linear speed at the outer rim.
- Outside diameter d — Diameter at the considered rim.
- Rotational speed n — Revolutions per minute.
Example
200 mm at 1,500 rpm gives 15.7 m/s.
Assumptions and limits
Rigid circular motion without slip.
