Basic rating life of the 7005 CE
Basic rating life is L10 = (C / P)p million revolutions, where P is the equivalent dynamic load and p = 3 (ball bearing). For a 7005 CE with C = 8.32 kN, the table shows what that gives at different load levels. It is the ISO 281 basic life only: it does not include lubrication, contamination, misalignment or reliability modifiers.
| C / P | P as share of C | L10 (million rev) | L10 at 1,500 rpm | L10 at 3,000 rpm |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 33.3% | 27 | 300 | 150 |
| 5 | 20.0% | 125 | 1,400 | 690 |
| 8 | 12.5% | 512 | 5,700 | 2,800 |
| 12 | 8.3% | 1,728 | 19,200 | 9,600 |
For example, a C / P of 5 means the equivalent load is 1.66 kN on this bearing. Use the Load Calculator to work out P for your actual radial and axial loads.
Equivalents of the 7005 CE
Brand-by-brand equivalents for this exact designation are not shown here. The Cross-Reference tool accepts SKF, FAG, NSK, NTN, Timken, Koyo and NRB designations, and shows what is catalogued.
Where the 7005 CE is used
Super-precision angular contact bearings are used where rotational accuracy, stiffness and high speed matter, typically in machine-tool spindles. In this catalogue the CE — high speed variant is listed with both grease and oil-air speed guides.
Other sizes in the same series
The 7005 CE belongs to the “CE — high speed (medium)” series. The next size down, the 7004 CE, has a bore of 20 mm and a dynamic rating of 7.41 kN.
Common problems on bearings like the 7005 CE
Most field failures trace back to lubrication, contamination, fits and alignment rather than the bearing itself. These guides explain how to recognise and prevent them:
