GearMotor
The axial force is positive if it is a compressive force and negative if it is a tensile force. The following figure shows the coordinate system on the gear unit output shaft.
The radial load and the bending moment are always given as positive values. How these loads act on the gear unit output shaft is indicated by their respective angle. Since it is unknown how the drive from SEW-EURODRIVE is oriented in the customer's mechanical elements, this angle may have to be adapted before it can be used for the design of the gearmotor.
The angle is defined in the software as follows: The coordinate system is located at the center of the shaft, the Z-axis points into the gear unit, the Y-axis points to the gear unit base and to the right when looking at the gear unit output shaft. 0° represents a radial load (or a bending moment) pointing to the gear shaft from the right (i.e. in the negative X direction). 90° represents a radial load (or a bending moment) pointing to the gear shaft from above (i.e. in the positive Y direction). The following figure illustrates the angle of the radial load.
