× mc) × g × Lf
100 × 185 × EAl × Iy 48 × 5 × EAl × Iy
Conclusion Formulas
fh > fmax = deflection OK

100 × 8 × EAl × Iy 3 × EAl × Iy
fh < fmax = deflection not OK, Lf must be shorter

Profile supported in one end.
Profile fixed at one side.
fh = permissible profile deflection [mm]
Lf = length of profile being bent [mm]
b = bending factor 1
fmax = deflection of the profile [mm]
m’100 = weight of every 100 mm of
stroke [kg] 2
mext = external load on carriage [kg]
mc = weight of carriage(s) [kg] 2
g = acceleration due to gravity [m/s 2 ]
EAl
= elastic modulus of aluminium
(70000 N/mm 2 )
Iy = geometrical moment of inertia of
the profile in Y direction [mm 4 ] 1
