● Example for Gear Drive
④
Diameter of the chain sprocket wheel or gearing that is mounted on the output shaft;
the diameter should be 3 times as large as output diameter.
⑤
Tension of V-Belt : Excessive tensioning may result in damage of the bearings of the
shaft.
Tension of the chain : Excessive tensioning may result in damage of the bearings of
the shaft. If the chain is installed loosely, shock load will occur when the drive shaft
starts location, and this can results in damage to the reducer and the other equipment.
therefore, adjust the tension of the chain properly. (refer to figure)
Amount of slack for chains S=0.02L
L = SPAN
⑥
Point of load application on the output shaft
The gearing or chain sprocket wheel must be amounted so the point of load
application is a near as possible to the face of the unit to minimize overhung load.
