Why is RPM so important to the life of a compressor?

A compressor operates in a harsh environment and must not fail. RPM creates excessive heat and vibration. Basically a compressor that operates at 1200 RPM will last many times longer than one operating at 2500 RPM or more. There is a direct relationship in a compressor between RPM and durability, the lower the RPM the cooler, quieter and more durable it will be.
