Column Load Chart
Compression (Column) load: A load that tends to buckle or compress
the screw shaft.
How To Use Chart:
1. Determine maximum compression load (lbs.)
2. Determine slide length. (“L” dimension)
3. Determine end fixity and slide designation (2RPS & 2LRPS)
4. Find the point at which load and length intersect.
5. Select a slide above or to the right of the intersecting point.
Applies Primarily to Vertical Application
*NOTE: Chart figures at 80% of actual load. Do not exceed these figures.
