FAILURE BEARING ANALYSIS

1. BEARING LIFE The basic rating life of a bearing according to ISO 281:1990 is L10 = (C/P)p If the speed is constant, it is often preferable to calculate the life expressed in operating hours, using the equation L10 h = 106/(60n) L10 where L10 = basic rating life (at 90% reliability) [millions of revolutions] L10h = basic rating life (at 90% reliability) [operating hours] C P n p = basic dynamic load rating, kN] = equivalent dynamic bearing load [kN] = rotational speed [r/min] = exponent of the life equation 3 for ball bearings 10/3 for roller bearings
