Basic Information Safety Notes Gear Drive Ratings Falk Gear Drives The Falk and Rexnord name on the gear drive is the purchaser’s assurance that the drive was engineered, rated and manufactured to sound design practices. The power supplied to the geared drive must be equal to or less than the power for which the drive was selected using the appropriate service factor for the application. The customer must also assume the responsibility of isolating the geared drive from any vibratory or transient load induced by the driven equipment. Install and operate Rexnord products in conformance with applicable...

Conditions Affecting Selection Non-Standard Application Procedures The following conditions may affect the Omnibox gear drive selection procedure, drive size, and auxiliary equipment being furnished. Excessive Overloads The maximum momentary or starting load must not exceed 200% of rated load (100% overload). Rated load is defined as gear drive rating with a service factor of 1.0. If the maximum starting or momentary load exceeds the above conditions, compute a second equivalent power rating by dividing the peak load by two. The gear drive selected must have capacity equal to, or in excess of,...

How to Select and Order Quick Selection Method Example 1. Determine Service Factor — Pages 10 and 11. 2. Determine Required Input Horsepower — Calculate the equivalent hp by multiplying the motor hp by the Service Factor. 3. Determine Driver Output Speed and Ratio. 4. Select Drive Type and Size — Refer to Pages 14 through 19 and select the desired drive configuration. Then refer to Pages 22 through 27 (Single Reduction), Pages 52 through 57 (Double Reduction, Worm-Worm), or Pages 82 through 85 (Double Reduction, Helical Worm) and select the drive size. Locate the table containing required ratio,...

Overhung Load and Thrust Loads Load Connection Factor (Fc) Overhung Load — Overhung load is imposed upon a shaft when a pinion, sprocket, or sheave is used as a power take-off. The magnitude of the load varies with the type of take-off and its proximity to the shaft bearing. Calculate the load (including minimum required service factor) and check the result against the tabulated overhung load rating. The overhung load formula below considers the transmitted horsepower without service factor. This is appropriate for applications where starting loads, momentary overloads, and brake capacities do...
