What is bearing defect frequency?
Each bearing element has a characteristic defect frequency that depends on mechanical dimensions of the bearing. The product of multipliers with the shaft rotational speed gives the defect frequency of bearing running at given shaft speed [7].
What is the minimum bearing life?
The basic rating life L10 is a service life of 90 % reliability when used under normal usage conditions for bearings of high manufacturing quality where the inside of the bearing is of a standard design made from bearing steel materials specified in JIS or equivalent materials.
