Will High Engine RPM Damage the Engine?
1 Answers
It depends on how "high" the RPM is. Operating at full load or even overload will definitely cause damage. Here is some relevant information about engine RPM: Introduction: The engine RPM relates to the number of work cycles per unit time or the effective power output of the engine. In other words, the effective power of the engine varies with different RPM levels. Therefore, when specifying the effective power of an engine, the corresponding RPM must also be indicated. Product Label: The effective power and corresponding RPM specified on the engine product label are referred to as the rated power and rated RPM, respectively. The operating condition of the engine at rated power and rated RPM is called the rated condition. The rated power is not the maximum power the engine can produce but rather the maximum usable limit of effective power determined based on the engine's intended use.
