9.13 Bearing and Shaft Loads
During operation, both radial and axial forces act upon the motor drive
shaft and, thus, upon the bearings. Machine design and motor type must
be carefully adapted to make sure that the specified load limits are not
exceeded.

The maximum permissible radial force F
radial_max
depends on the following
factors:
• Shaft-breaking stress
• Point of force application, x (see Fig. 9-24)
• Shaft design (smooth; with keyway)
The permitted radial force F
radial
depends on the following factors:
• Arithmetic mean speed (n

• Point of force application x (see Fig. 9-24)
• Bearing Lifetime
Only low axial shaft loads are permitted on IndraDyn A motors.

Fig. 9-25: Axial load
The permitted axial load applies for all installation positions. Therefore,
the motors are not suitable for machine elements that generate axial
loading of the motors (e.g. helical driving pinions).
Note: Avoid impermissible axial loads or jolting of the motor drive
shaft.
The acceleration and deceleration times can be ignored in the calculation
if the time during which the drive is operated at a constant speed is
