    There are 2 ways to do it.

    1) increase voltage.

    2) adjust the armature.

    Just becareful because if you adjust the armature too much you can lose the torque of the motor and cause it to overheat under load.

    One other solution would be to change to a pulley system and the by changing diameter of the pulley would change the speed.
