APPENDIX II: SHAFT DEFLECTION FORMULA
Determine the shaft deflection slope at the pulley end disc using the folowing equation:

Allowable Siope:
tan a = 0.0023 inches per inch or tan of 8
minutes. If the slope is greater than
0.0023, it ill be necessary to go to a
larger shaft diameter or consult your
manufactue
NOTE: THE RESULTANT DEFLECTION CALCULATED USING THESE FORMULAS WILL EXCEED THE ACTUAL
DEFLECTION WHICH WILL DEPEND ON THE END DISC CONSTRAINT.etn
