RCF and k-Factor Calculator 

2000 rpm
rpm
At 2000 rpm, the RCF equals 644 x g at rMAX and 425 x g at rAV.
The k Factor (adjusted) is 72,181.

RPM Calculator (from RCF) 

2000 x g
x g
To achieve an RCF of 2000 x g at rMAX, set the speed to 3,525 rpm.
To achieve an RCF of 2000 x g at rAV, set the speed to 4,339 rpm.
