Technical data Calculation of the load characteristic to define the lifetime • The lifetime of linear units are in accordance with the average loads and moments of an application. The load characteristic can approximately calculated by following equation with simultaneously appearing load and moments. Application values (e.g. Fy) Catalog values (e.g. Fymax) My Fy Mx Mz + + + Fz + Fymax Mymax Mxmax Mzmax Fzmax Rough calculation of the load characteristics RK DuoLine S Belastungskennwert Bk Load characteristic value Bk The load characteristic value BK = relates to a lifetime of 5.000 km unit size...
