Single Reduction Speed Reducer Selection Procedure

Single Reduction Speed Reducer Selection Procedure

To properly select a speed reducer, the following application information must be known:

Input RPM (Ratio)
Output Torque
Input Horsepower

Service Factor
Non-Motorized Speed Reducer
1. Determine service factor from table below.
2. Determine design horsepower.
Design Horsepower = Application Load x Service Factor
3. Select a speed reducer size that satisfies output RPM, service class and/or output torque requirements.
4. Check overhung load capacity.

Motorized Speed Reducer
1. Determine service class from table below.
2. Select a reducer size that satisfies output RPM, service class and/or output torque requirements.
3. Check overhung load capacity.

Overhung Load
If the output shaft of a speed reducer is connected to the driven machine by other than a flexible coupling, an overhung load is imposed on the shaft. This load may be calculated as follows:
OHL = 2TK
D
OHL = Overhung Load (LB.)
T = Shaft Torque (LB.IN.)
D = PD of Sprocket, Pinion or Pulley (IN.)
K = Load Connection Factor

Load Connection Factor
Sprocket or Timing Belt . 1.00
Pinion and Gear Drive . 1.25
Pulley and V-Belt Drive 1.50
Pulley and Flat Belt Drive 2.50

An overhung load greater than permissible load value may be reduced to an acceptable value by the use of a sprocket, pinion or pulley of a larger PD. Relocation of the load closer to the center of reducer will also increase OHL capacity.

Permissible Overhung Loads and Output Shaft Thrust Loads are listed for each reducer in the Tables on pages 30-33.

Maximum Input Speeds
710, 713 4500 RPM
715 through 732 3600 RPM
738, 752 2500 RPM
760 1750 RPM
