Method

Formula, when it applies, and when it does not

Estimate basic L10 rating life from dynamic rating, one equivalent load, rotational speed, and bearing type.

L10 = (C/P)³; hours = L10·10⁶/(60n)

When

  • One equivalent load
  • Constant speed
  • Basic rating-life relationship

Don’t

  • This is a baseline statistical L10 rating-life screen for one entered equivalent load and constant speed. It excludes load-spectrum effects, lubrication, contamination, temperature, misalignment, shock, reliability adjustment, mounting, and manufacturer-specific life factors.
