Nice work, Jason. This will really come in handy. I wonder if you can
give me a little more information on to how to use this worksheet. I
assume that one would divide the total load by two since there are
usually two shafts carrying the load.

Now, the two bearings on each shaft are also sharing the load and are
spaced some distance apart. Does this effect the amount of deflection
in any relevant amount? It seems to me that it would lessen the
effect a bit.

Anyone have any ideas about this?

Thanks,
