RPM (Surface Velocity)

Maximum weld strength occurs at an optimum pres-

sure and speed. Higher rotation speeds decrease the 

weld initiation time, but to a lesser extent than axial 

pressure. This means that you will typically need to 

make larger percentage changes in motor speed to 

see a noticeable difference in the weld properties 

than you would in axial pressure. The basic expres-

sion commonly seen is:

v = πDN

 where 

v

 is surface velocity (inch/sec) 

π

 = 3.14 

 

D

 = average diameter of the joint (inch) 

N

 = angular velocity (rev/sec)  

but  

N = RPM/60

  so we can write…

v = 

The initial target for 

v

 is in the 360 to 600 inch/sec 

range. This corresponds to the common quoted val-

ues of 30 to 50 ft/sec. Surface velocities as low as
