LOAD CONNECTION TYPES OF CONNECTION Two methods of mechanical connection of the motor to the driven load are commonly used: 1. Direct Connection Direct connection should always be considered where the required load speed coincides with an available motor speed. The preferred practice is to use a flexible coupling, which will allow a slight amount of misalign ment and minimize transmission of thrust to the motor bearings. Axial thrust loads are commonly encountered when a pump impeller or fan is mounted on the motor shaft. They also occur in direct connected helial gear drives and when the motor is mounted vertically or in an inclined position where any weight other than the rotor is supported by the motor shaft. Refer to Table 26 for recommended maximum axial thrust loads for horizontal ball-bearing motor with typical bearing sizes.
2. Belt, Chain and Gear Drives When connecting a motor to its load with this type of drive, proper selection is necessary to limit bearing loads within radial load capacities. Tables 27 and 28 provide recommended minimum V-belt sheave diameters for 60 and 50 HZ motors. Tables 27 and 28 indicates the approximate radial forces corresponding to a belt tight ened sufficiently to prevent slippage. Additional tension will increase the radial force and decrease bearing life. For A-B-C-D-E belts, the center line of the pulley should not extend beyond the end of the shaft. For 3V-5V-8V belts, the centerline of the pulley should not be any closer to the end of the shaft than 1/2 the V dimension of the shaft. Requests are made accordingly for parameters not labeled in these tables. Belt and sheave manufactureres and their distributers typcally provide a Load Analysis Data sheet as a technical service. Regardless of who is asked, the following information is necessary.
