# Load Ratings

## PlanetaryX

### Static Load Ratings

The following torque measurements are for a static load condition. The torques listed are for the output of the stage.

| Cartridge       | Max Torque          |
| --------------- | ------------------- |
| 3:1             | 320 Nm (No Failure) |
| 4:1             | 320 Nm (No Failure) |
| 5:1             | 310 Nm (Failure)    |
| 1/2" Hex Output | 320 Nm (No Failure) |

### Cartridge Load Ratings

The following chart shows which gear cartridge configurations are allowable with different motors. Cells shown in <mark style="color:$success;">**GREEN**</mark> are allowed and cells shown in <mark style="color:$danger;">**RED**</mark> are not allowed.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Cantilevered loads on the output shaft put additional stress on the gearbox and can reduce its torque capacity. Shock loads may exceed the gearbox's rated limits, even when the steady-state torque is within the allowable range.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
hese load ratings are based on the default current limits of the TalonFX and a single Kraken X60. <mark style="color:$warning;">**We do not recommend exceeding 125:1 overall reductio**</mark>n on a PlanetaryX assembly. At reductions above 125:1, the 5:1 stage has a factor of safety below 1.1.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.wcproducts.com/welcome/gearboxes/planetaryx/general-info/load-ratings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
