You were probably thinking engine speeds, rather than axle speeds.

I'm thinking industrial motor speed, actually. 3400-5000 RPM that I'll be spinning the drum at. Remember, this is for a centrifuge.
On average, if a large truck engine spun at 3400 RPM, it'd rip itself apart. The only thing that may spin that fast is the output of the transmission.
