Rated speed refers to the speed at which a machine, motor, or engine is designed to operate efficiently under normal working conditions. For motors, it's the speed at which the motor is expected to run when it is delivering its maximum continuous power without overheating or experiencing excessive wear.
For example, if a motor has a rated speed of 1500 RPM (revolutions per minute), it means the motor is designed to operate at this speed under typical load conditions for optimal performance and longevity.
This speed is usually specified by the manufacturer and ensures that the motor or machine performs well and safely. Itβs important not to exceed the rated speed too much, as doing so can cause damage or reduce the lifespan of the equipment.
