    rpm = (frequency (Hz) x 60 (seconds)) / number of pairs of poles.

    so for example: a 4 pole motor connected to 50 Hz mains supply. rpm = (50 x 60) / 2 = 1500
    This is the theoretical speed, the actual speed is rather less because the motor need 'slip' so it works out about 1425 rpm at the rated load.
    My spindle is rated at 24000 rpm at 400 Hz so it must be a 2 pole motor

    number of pairs of poles = (400 x 60) /24000 = 1, therefore number of poles = 2

    edit: Geoffrey, looks like we both posted at the same time
