Are the RPM ratings critical here? I understand that the material composition of the high load bearing makes it less susceptible to shock.

I think McMaster's ratings are highly conservative. Based on PV and V max numbers I can pull off the web, the max SFM should be 225, which translates into about 2300 RPM. Not that you could handle a full robot load at that speed. What RPM max do those Rhino Drives run at? Give me that and I can give you a max load.
