Allowed wheel load
The allowed wheel load is based on the fatigue strength of the shaft (curved part)
and the load carrying capacity of the screw joints (flat part).
The load curve is based on peak loads that are about 2x the average load.

The safety factor of a known wheel load may be defined by the following equation.
s = safety factor
G = average wheel load [kN]
F
max
= motor load carrying capacity [kN]
If safety factor is predefined, the allowed wheel load may be estimated with the
following equation:
s = safety factor
G
max
= allowed wheel load [kN]
F
max
= motor load carrying capacity [kN]
Service life
The service life of the motor is based on the rated life of its bearings. The bearings
load curve gives the wheel load value, which the motors endures for 10 million
rotations with 90 % reliability.
