Maximum permitted overhung loads
The following table lists the permitted overhung loads (top value) and axial forces (bot-
tom value) of explosion-proof AC motors:
9.1.1
Overhung load conversion for off-center force application
The permitted overhung loads must be calculated using the following formulae in the
event that force is not applied at the center of the shaft end. The smaller of the two val-
ues F
xL
(according to bearing life) and F
xW
(according to shaft strength) is the permitted
value for the overhung load at point x. Note that the calculations apply to M
