Gear Units - Calculation and Selection

The values given in the load table are based on uniform, smooth servo-operation. Since, in practice, the applications are
very diverse, it is essential to consider the given conditions by using the appropriate factors S, KA and bB (see symbols).
The maximum oil-sump temperature of 80 C should not be exceeded.
