Rated output torque Mn2 [Nm]
Torque output transmissible under uniform loading and referred to the input speed n1 and the corresponding output speed n2.
The output torque can be calculated with the following formula:

Torque demand Mr2 [Nm]
Torque calculated based on application requirements. It must be = Mn2 of the chosen BOX unit.

Input power Pn1 [kW]
This is the power value of the motor applied to the input shaft and corresponding to a certain input speed n1 a service factor fs=1.
and a duty service S1 It is even possibile to calculate the motorsize necessary by using the formula:

Since the value calculated in this way could not really correspond to an input power actually available in the IEC standardised motors, it will be necessary to choose, among the input powers available, the one which is immediately higher, checking this in the motive catalogue of the motors.
Gear ratio i
It is the relationship of the input speed n1 and the output speed n2
In the BOX units with pre-stage reduction (BOX+PC), the total ratio is given by the PC pre-stage reduction ratio multiplied by the BOX unit ratio. In the combined BOX units (BOX+BOX), the total ratio is the result of the product of the ratio of the two single boxes composing the combined unit.
Input speed n1 [rpm]
It is the speed the BOX unit is driven at.
Output speed n2 [rpm]
It is the rotation speed of the output shaft.

Service factor fs
It is a numeric value describing the BOX unit service duty. With unavoidable approximation, it takes into consideration:

  • the daily working hours h/d
  • the load classification a, b, c (see graph. Nr.2), and then the moment of inertia of the driven masses.
  • The number of starts per hour s/h
  • . The presence of brake motors, for which it is necessary to multiply for 1.12 the service factor value deducted by from graph. Nr.2
  • . The significance of the application in terms of safety, for example lifting of parts

In graph. Nr.2 the service factor fsr required by a certain application can be attained, after having selected the proper "daily working hours" (h/d) column, by intersecting the number of starts per hour (s/h) and one of the a, b or c curves. The curves a, b and c are linked with the load classification described in graph. Nr.2


load classification
application
easy starting, smooth operation, small masses be accelerated
belt conveyors for light material; centrifugal pumps; rotary gear pumps; screw feeders for light materials; lifts; bottling machines; auxiliary controls of tool machines; fans; power generators; fillers; small mixers
starting with moderate loads,
uneven operating conditions, medium size masses to be accelerated
belt conveyors with varied load with transfer of bridge trucks for light duty; levelling machines; shakers and mixed for liquid with variable density and viscosity; machines for the food industry (kneading troughs, mincing machines, slicing machines, etc); sifting machines for sand gravel; textile industry machines; cranes, hoists, goodstifts; fertilizer scrapers; concrete mixers; folding machines; winches; crane mechanisms
uneven operation
heavy loads,
larger masses to be accelerated
conveyors with violent jerks; compressors ad alternate pumps with 1 or more cylinders; machinery for bricks, tiles and clay; kneaders; milling machines; lifting winches with buckets; rotting furnaces; heavy fans or mining purposes; mixers for heavy materials; machine-tools; planing kinds; alternating saws; shears; tumbling barrels; vibrators; shredders; turntables

If, after the selection of the right Mr2 and n2, in the following performance tables, you don't find a BOX unit whose service factor fs is equalof the requested one fsr, you can choose a BOX unit in which Mn2 > Mr2.
In fact, in order to satisfy n2 è you can choose another BOX unit whose output torque is Mc2, output torque, where

Note: This rule is valid only if the new BOX unit that has been selected in this way has a service factor fs <1 in the performance tables.
From another point of view, the value of fs fs in the performance tables refers to a case in which the effective torque requested by the application Mr2 matches perfectly with the one appearing on the catalogue Mn2
Whenever the torque indicated in the performance table is higher than the requested one, the offered service factor of the performance table can be increased according to the formula:
The value calculated in this way must be ≥fsr
