Conditions Affecting Selections Non–Standard Application Procedures The following conditions may affect the 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 horsepower by dividing the peak load by two. The gear drive selected must have capacity equal to, or in excess of, the larger...
