How to Balance Shock Load vs. Running Load
No easy answers here! It depends on the load demands and duty cycle of
your application; Cyclic loads beyond the geartrain's durability rating result in early
failure; exceeding the geartrain's strength rating leads to catastrophic tooth failure.
Is your load primarily frictional, inertial, or a combination? Frictional
loads tend to require a small torque spike to start motion and a smaller relatively constant
torque to maintain it. Inertial loads typically require high starting torques but low running
torques.
As an engineering-driven company, Bison offers all the specification guides,
duty cycle and load condition charts to help guide you, but even better.
