PRO165SL/SLE
For a cantilevered load, first determine if it is a Vertical, Horizontal, or a Side cantilever system
(refer to Figure 2-6).
The Vertical curve is for situations where the stage is mounted in a vertical orientation and the
payload is mounted to the table top with its center of gravity extended outward in a direction
normal to the tabletop surface. Refer to
vertical orientation.
The Horizontal curve assumes a horizontal stage orientation with the payload offset extending
outwards along the surface of the tabletop.
The Side curve is for situations where the stage is mounted on its side and the offset load
extends outwards in a direction normal to the tabletop surface.
Measure the cantilever length, then find the corresponding load value from
