# Angle for weight
> [HTML Version](angle_for_weight.html)
The direction of the weight can be defined by this setting. The angle is in the x-y-plane, a rotation around z-axis. A value of zero results in a weight in the direction of shaft axis. The weight direction is also shown as an arrow in the shaft graphics and it can be varied within the load spectrum.
