| Axial Load Capacity |
| In some of the applications, there is an axial load on the Gear Box shaft. Some typical applications are Screw Conveyors, Agitators etc. In such cases it is necessary to check whether the axial load on the gear box is within the safe limits. Table 6 on the previous page gives the Maximum Axial Load Capacity `Fa' of all the models of our Planetary Gear Boxes. Before selecting the gear box, ensure that the actual axial load to which gear box is subjected to, is less than `Fa'. In many of the agitators or screw conveyors, there is a separate bearing housing provided in the equipment itself to take the axial thrust developed in the process, so that it is not passed on to the gear box shaft. In such cases, it is not necessary to check the axial thrust. Values of `Fa' given in table 6 above are applicable only when there is purely axial load on the gear box shaft. However, if both axial and radial loads exist simultaneously, the axial load capacities of the gear box reduces substantially. In such case, contact us for correct selection. |
