Torque and Horsepower Torque as it is related to gear reducers is defined as a twisting motion resulting in rotational movement. Horsepower is a measure of the rate of doing work, and depends on speed of rotation and the radius of rotation. HP = TQ x Speed (RPM) TQ = HP x 63025 63025 RPM Efficiency The efficiency of a Worm Gear Speed Reducer is dependent on input speed, lead angle of the worm, type of lubricant, ambient temperature and many other variables. The efficiency for speed reducer can be easily calculated as follows. Efficiency = Output HP Input HP Overhung Load & Thrust Loads An overhung load exists when a force is applied at right angles to a shaft beyond the shaft’s outermost bearing. Pulleys, sheaves and sprockets will cause an overhung load when used as a power take-off. The amount of overhung load will vary, depending on the type of power take-off used and its mounting location on the shaft. The catalog Overhung Load ratings listed below are calculated at the centerline of the shaft. Overhung load ratings are listed for each reducer size and should not be exceeded. If the basic reducer is selected using a service factor, that factor must also be used in the equations below.

Overhung Load – Overhung load is imposed upon a shaft when a pinion or sprocket is used as a power take-off. The magnitude of the load varies with the type of PTO and its location to the shaft bearing. Calculate the load (including minimum required service factor) and check the result against the tabulated overhung load rating. The overhung load formula below considers the transmitted horsepower with service factor. This is appropriate for applications where starting loads, momentary overloads and brake capacities do not exceed 200% of gear reducer rating (100% overload). For other conditions, calculate the actual application load by multiplying the transmitted power by the appropriate service factor.

Lf = load location factor (the input shaft OHL is assumed to be applied at one shaft diameter from the seal cage, (Lf = 1.0) if the load is applied at a distance greater than one shaft diameter from the seal cage, refer the application to the Factory). The calculated overhung load must be less than or equal to the capacity shown on pages 420-422.

Load Location Factor (Lf) – the output shaft load location factors are shown below.
