Formula and units

RCF = 1.118 × 10−6 × R × N2
  • R: rotating radius in millimetres (mm), not diameter.
  • N: rotation speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
  • RCF: relative centrifugal force, expressed as G or × g.

For speed: N = √(RCF / (1.118 × 10⁻⁶ × R)).

This is a calculation aid, not a permitted operating speed. Do not exceed the rated speed, load or operating conditions of the actual machine and bowl. Use the radius definition specified for the equipment.
