1) What is Miner's Rule?
The power capacity of a Gear Drive is an important factor in ensuring successful operation of driven equipment with minimum downtime. Making sure that the unit is correct for the application can be difficult when presented with the options from various manufacturers, especially if the specifications are unknown. However, if the amount of load and it’s time duration are known for an application, a cumulative fatigue analysis such as Miner’s rule can be used to precisely determine the life of a gear drive. Miner's Rule is a commonly used cumulative damage equation for failures caused by fatigue. The term was originally coined by M.A Miner in 1945…

Catenary sag is the shape the sagging chain takes after leaving the drive sprockets. Learn how to measure and readjust catenary sag here. Pro-actively checking the catenary sag of your chain can increase drive efficiency, identify chain elongation and help predict chain removal or replacement. We recommend that all conveying chains are run with a certain amount of catenary sag, so checking it early and often is critical to maintaining the long term health of the conveying line…
