sprocket or sheave is used as a power takeoff. The magnitude of the load varies
with the type of takeoff and its proximity to the shaft bearing. Calculate the load Overhung Load = 126,000 x 450 x 1.00 x 1.18

z Overhung load values shown are for loads applied at midpoint of extension key length. Published overhung load ratings are based on a combination of the most unfavorable conditions of loading. Consult
the Factory for application-specic review if additional capacity is required. Interpolate for values at intermediate speeds. The last overhung load listed applies to all lower output speeds for that drive size and
mounting surface.
