EXPLANATION & USE OF RATINGS & SERVICE FACTORS Gear unit selection is made by comparing actual loads with catalogue ratings. Catalogue ratings are based on a standard set of loading conditions, whereas actual load conditions vary according to type of application. Service Factors are therefore used to calculate an equivalent load to compare with catalogue ratings. i.e. Equivalent Load = Actual Load x Service Factor Two types of Service Factor must be considered:- Mechanical Service Factor Fm and Thermal Service Factors Ft, Fp and Fd Table1. Mechanical Service Factor Fm Mechanical Ratings and Service...

SERIES AM LUBRICATION LUBRICANT AND QUANTITY The Series A Mid Range units are despatched without oil. The oil grade is stamped on the name plate and the oil level marked on the dipstick. These are determined from the operating speed of the gear unit and the ambient temperature range, which if not given when ordering will be assumed to be 1450 rev / min input and ambient temperature range 0 to 35°C. Oil grades and oil level should therefore always be checked before installation, instructions are provided with all units despatched. To determine the oil grade refer to the appropriate table 1 or...
