BEARING RATING & BEARING LIFE
Bearing Rating:
• Describes the expected load a part can carry
• Determined by geometry and material of bearing
• A variable used to calculate estimated life (L10)
Bearing Life:
• Estimated time bearing will run before predetermined amount of damage occurs
• Determined by application conditions, bearing rating, and bearing performance enhancements
3
Bearing Ratings
BEARING LOAD RATINGS
• Timken ratings are calculated based on algorithms developed inter-company or through ISO
• Validated through:
• Testing under reference conditions
• Practical experience in customer applications
• International Bearing Performance Audit samples bearings to ensure they meet the established rating.

TIMKEN BEARING TESTING

DYNAMIC LOAD RATING
• Used for estimating the life of a rotating bearing.
• Symbol is C90 or C(90) for radial rating
• Symbol is Ca90 or Ca(90) for thrust rating
• The load that 90% or more of a large group of bearings could survive for 90 million revolutions before a 0.01in2 (6mm2) spall develops.
• Rating verified by testing at given reference conditions
7
DYNAMIC LOAD RATING REFERENCE CONDITIONS
• Load: Fr = 150% C90
• Speed: S = 500 RPM
• Lubrication: Oil viscosity = 33 cSt @ 55° C (155 SUS at 130° F)
• Temperature: T = 55° C (130° F)
• Setting: 150° load zone
• Alignment: < 0.0005 radians
• Fatigue spall size: 6 mm2 (0.01 in2)

• Timken ratings based on C90 yet many ratings are
published as C1

• “Working” load range is 1/3 of the C1 rating.

Bearing Life Calculations: Single Row Bearings
WHAT IS BEARING “LIFE”?
• Multiple bearing damage modes exist
• Industry standardization of bearing life prediction needed
• Fatigue damage mode chosen as standard approach
14
SINGLE BEARING FATIGUE LIFE
• A single bearing’s fatigue life is the time until a spall of a predefined area forms on a bearing contact surface due to fatigue

BEARING POPULATION FATIGUE LIFE
L10 life:
• The number of hours (or revolutions) that 90% of a group of (apparently identical) bearings will meet or exceed, under a given set of conditions, before specified fatigue damage occurs
L = Fatigue Life of a rolling element bearing
10 = 10% of population with damage (reliability)
19
WEIBULL DISTRIBUTION OF BEARING FATIGUE LIFE
20
WEIBULL CUMULATIVE DISTRIBUTION FUNCTION
F(N) = Fraction failed by life N
N0 = Minimum life for any member
(often N0=0)
NA = Characteristic Life
(63.2% failure point where NA = N)
= Weibull slope
(1.5 for Timken roller bearings)

CATALOG L10 LIFE CALCULATIONS: GENERALIZED EQUATION - TERMS
• Dynamic Load Rating (“capacity”) • This can be based on 1 million (C1 or Ca1)
or 90 million (C90 or Ca90) revolutions
• It can be radial (C1 or C90) or axial (Ca1 or Ca90)
• Dynamic Equivalent Load (“equiv. load”) • Can be Dynamic Equivalent Radial Load or Dynamic
Equivalent Axial Load, but it must match the rating (radial or axial)
• Units must also match those of the rating
24
CATALOG L10 LIFE CALCULATIONS: GENERALIZED EQUATION - TERMS
• Bearing Speed (“speed”)
• Units are Revolutions Per Minute (RPM)
• Using this and the constant, the equation converts from revolutions to hours
• Exponent (“exp”)
• 10/3 for roller bearings
• 3 for ball bearings
• Constant (“const.”)
• A units conversion constant to convert:
• Rating based upon 1 million or 90 million revolutions
• Speed from RPM to revolutions/hour
• L10 life units (hours or revolutions)

L10 LIFE CALCULATIONS: CYLINDRICAL ROLLER BEARINGS
• To avoid slippage, a minimum load should be maintained • Bearings with cage: P/C 0.02
• Full-complement: P/C 0.04
• Certain cylindrical roller bearings can carry some axial load • Engineering guideline - the axial load should not exceed
10% the radial load
• Applied load (P) should not exceed 1/3 of the load rating (C or C1) • The 10/3 load-life relationship is no longer as
appropriate at these load levels

CONCLUSIONS FROM THE CATALOG L10 LIFE EQUATIONS
Roller Bearings:
2 X Load = 1/10 Life
1/2 Load = 10 X Life
+23% Load = ½ Life
2 X Speed = 1/2 Life
1/2 Speed = 2 X Life

ADVANCED USE OF L10 LIFE: SYSTEM LIFE
• Multiple-Bearing Systems
• Applications typically consist of more than a single bearing row
• The L10 life of the system is the time at which 90% of the bearings in the system would not have had any damaged bearings
• System L10 life is always lower than any individual bearing L10 lives within that system

FLOAT BEARING LIFE CALCULATION
• Timken Method:
• Evaluate life based on the total radial load, Fr
• The two rows of the float position share the load equally
• Therefore the dynamic equivalent radial load is equal to the radial reaction, so: PC = FrC
• Note: Use C90(2)C, the two row rating
C90(2) 2 X C90(1)
C90(2) = 1.74 X C90(1)
