According to a formula I found, the kinetic energy in Parts increases at the square of the speed. 7200 rpm to 7500 rpm would be an increase of about 8 percent.
Add to that the energy and resistance to change in direction and control surge of the spring increases due to kinetic energy and that increases stress to another level .
