5. SERVICE FACTOR

 

The service factor Sf must be determined by considering of integral operation conditions such as the operating time per a day, the number of starts and stops per an hour,the load classification, ambient temperature and other considerations.
Besides personnel safety, roll of the reducer to the production line and maintenance conditions are as important as described above. The strength calculations are based on continuous 10 hour operation per a day on uniform load.
In order to ensure personnel safety and long trouble free operation , select a service factor equal to or greater than that determined from the table  would be preferable  The output torque specified in the catalogue  is based on Sf=1. The total combined service factor is calculated as follows
 

Sf total=Sf * Sf1 *Sf2

 

where

Sf=ÀÏgeneral service factor
Sf1=service factor  for increased ambient temperature
Sf2=service factor for frequency of starting
