Conversion Formula
rad/s = µrad/s × 1.000000000e-6
About Microradians per second
The microradian per second (µrad/s) is 10⁻⁶ rad/s. Earth's mean sidereal rotation rate is ≈72.921 µrad/s, the single most important reference at this scale. Navigation-grade ring laser gyroscopes (Honeywell GG1320) reach bias stability below 0.15 µrad/s; fibre-optic gyros for satellite attitude control (iXBlue ASTRIX-120) achieve 0.048 µrad/s. Postglacial isostatic rebound produces crustal block rotations detectable at 0.1-1 µrad/s in GPS survey networks. 1 µrad/s = 10⁻⁶ rad/s ≈ 5.73 × 10⁻⁵ °/s.
About Radians per second
The radian per second (rad/s) is the SI coherent derived unit of angular velocity. It appears naturally in all analytical mechanics: angular frequency ω = 2πf; torque-power relation P = τω; pendulum natural frequency ωₙ = √(g/L); Bode plot frequency axis. All SI engineering software (FEM solvers, robotics middleware ROS, control system toolboxes) uses rad/s natively. Earth's rotation rate Ω⊕ = 7.292 × 10⁻⁵ rad/s. Power electronics PWM carriers at 2-20 kHz correspond to 12566-125664 rad/s. 1 rad/s ≈ 9.5493 rpm = 57.296 °/s.
