In technology, the nominal speed is the speed at which an engine delivers the greatest possible power - the so-called nominal power - at full load . In the case of internal combustion engines , air temperature and air pressure are set for this; the motor must be used as intended - e.g. B. can be operated with the correct fuel . In internal combustion engines, full load means that the engine is operated with the highest effective fuel injection (coll. "Full throttle"). However, the maximum speed that can be achieved can be greater than the nominal speed, in which case the motor is over-revving . The speed at which a motor develops its maximum power is always below the nominal speed, cf. Torque . The speed range in between is called the elastic range .
