7.8 Overhung loads (→ GM, → MM)
Refer to the section "Project Planning for Gear Units"Overhung loads and axial forces/
for general information about overhung loads. The following table lists the permitted
overhung loads (top value) and axial forces (bottom value) of AC motors:
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
values F
xL
 (according to bearing service 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
N
.
