For gearmotors and reducers, calculated assuming 10 operating hours per day under a light shock load. For more rigorous operating conditions, use a service factor from the following table to correct the load torque.
| Load status |
Service factor(Sf) |
Example application |
| Less than 3 operating hours per day |
3 to 10 operating hours per day |
More than 10 operating hours per day |
