What Is Overhung Load Capacity?

What Is Overhung Load Capacity?

Overhung load is a force exerted per- pendicular to a shaft beyond the outermost bearing. When that force exceeds the maximum rated capacity for the equipment, shafts and bearings become overload- ed and wear out at a higher than normal rate.

What is Gearbox overhung load?

Overhung load is the force placed on a shaft by a gear, pulley, chain sprocket or similar mechanical power transmission products. ... Excessive overhung load occurs when the force applied to the shaft exceeds acceptable levels.
