Basic rating life of the 7011 CD

Basic rating life is L10 = (C / P)p million revolutions, where P is the equivalent dynamic load and p = 3 (ball bearing). For a 7011 CD with C = 39.7 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.

For example, a C / P of 5 means the equivalent load is 7.94 kN on this bearing. Use the Load Calculator to work out P for your actual radial and axial loads.
