Glued connection of the first sun gear (Henkel, technical books)
τ
Safety factor: S = C � zul
τT
τzul : permitted torsional stress (26.5 N/mm2, Loctite 648)
τT : working torsional stress
C: constant factor (clearance, temperature, materials, alternating stress,…)
Datasheet: max. torque for one-stage gearboxes

Lifetime calculation of ball bearings (KISSsys, ISO 281)
a b
Known:
FB,r Fr
Radial load: Fr = 306 N
Speed of output shaft: n = 100 rpm
Distance between ball bearings: a = 8 mm
Distance between ball bearing A and radial load: b = 14 mm
FA,r
Ball bearing NSK 608 DU:
dynamic load rating C = 3300 N Sketch for lifetime calculation (GP42)
static load rating C0 = 1370 N
Unknown:
Lifetime L10h
Calculation:
Radial load @ A: FA,r = Fr·(a+b)/a = 306·22/8 = 841.5 N
Equivalent load: P = FA,r = 841,5 N
Lifetime: Lh10 = (C/P)3·106/n/60 = (3300/841,5)3·106/100/60 = 10.000 h
Datasheet: max. radial load Fr Custom solution (GP42)
