Project Planning for Gear Units RM gear units 5.6RM gear units

Project planning You must take account of the higher overhung loads and axial forces when planningprojects with RM helical gearmotors with extended bearing housing. Observe the follow-ing project planning procedure:

Start of ProjectPlanning a = Conversion factor from data tableb = Conversion factor from data tablec
Determine the requirements of theapplication F = Gear-unit constants from data tableF = Axial loads during operationF • Performance• Torque• Output speed• Overhung load (F
a F = Gear-unit constants from data tableF
R = Overhung loadsduring operationF
R )/ axial load (F
a )• Lever arm (x-dimension)
Ra = Permitted overhung load (at x = 1000 mm) from data tableF
XF = Permitted overhung load on the housing (flange tensile strength)F
Select minimum service factors,e.g.: XL = Permitted overhung load according tobearing service lifex = Distance between force application and shaft shoulder •• ff
