PlaintextStep 1: Calculate required torque (Include 200% shock factor)
Step 2: Verify angular deviation tolerance (<0.05mm/m)
Step 3: Determine environmental exposure (Salt spray/chemicals)
Step 4: Choose housing: Cast iron (standard) / Duplex steel (corrosive)
Step 5: Specify lubrication: Synthetic PAO (extreme temps) / EP Grease (heavy loads)
✅ Technical Tip: Combine with tapered roller bearings for axial loads >15% of radial capacity.
