Requested basic rating life in millions of revolutions for reverse-rating arithmetic.
User-entered bearing-type exponent for basic rating-life arithmetic.
User-entered catalog static load rating; no catalog selection occurs here.
User-entered static equivalent load for the stated peak/load case.
Bearing bore for the DN arithmetic only.
Rotational speed for the DN arithmetic only.
User-entered catalog/process DN limit for comparison only.
User-entered preload shown only as a ratio of the stated equivalent load.

Method

Formula, when it applies, and when it does not

Calculate equivalent dynamic load, reverse basic rating, static ratio, DN, and preload ratio from bearing-specific inputs.

P = XFr + YFa; Creq = P·L10^(1/p); static ratio = C0/P0; DN = d·n

When

  • User-entered X/Y factors
  • Constant load direction
  • Basic rating-life arithmetic
  • User-entered DN limit

Don’t

  • This is constant-load basic rating arithmetic using user-entered bearing-specific X/Y factors, exponent, static load, and DN limit. It does not select a bearing, provide factor or limit values, model variable duty, use a modified-life method, assess lubricant/contamination/temperature, determine preload or stiffness, assess static adequacy, or replace a bearing manufacturer calculation.
