The values given in the load table are based upon uniform, smooth operation, and reliable grease lubrication.
Since, in practice, the applications are very diverse, it is necessary to take the given conditions into consideration by using appropriate factors SB , KA, and fn (see below).

Safety coefficient SB
The safety coefficient should be calculated in based on experience (SB ~1,1 ÷ 1,4).

Service-life factor fn
taking into consideration the peripheral speed of the pinion, the lubrication, and the stiffness of the pinion support.

Lubrication: Our values are based upon the operating times interrupted by intervals, which are normal for servo-assisted drives, and continuous lubrication. (The values for daily and monthly lubrication cannot be determined by calculation and are only recommendations, which underline the importance of a good lubrication.) A proven solution for continuous lubrication are automatic lubricators. For details, please see our lubricating recommendations.
