Where, the variables of the formula are:
Frav: Average radial load in N(kgf); obtained by formula (2).
Faav: Average axial load in N(kgf); obtained by formula (3).
dp: Circular pitch of roller: See Fig.1 and Table 1.
X: Radial load factor; obtained by formula (5)
Y: Axial load factor; obtained by formula (5')
Lr, La: Loading point in mm; See Fig.1.

θ
: Half of sway angle; See the right figure.
Sway Motion
When the sway angle is less than 5 degrees, consult to Harmonic
®
drive systems,
because fretting wear may occur for the operation caused by no oil film
between the race and the rolling element.
