Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of StandardsReview, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerned effort be made toward their resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute.

FOREWORD
(This Foreword is not a part of American and Fatigue Life for Roller Bearings.) National Standard, Load Ratings

This revision of ANWAFBMA Standard 11 has as its principal feature: The utilization of the factor f,, which depends on the geometry of the bearing components, the accuracy to which the various components are made and contemporary, normally used material and its manufacturing quality. This standard is in close conformity with IS0 76-1987 (Rolling bearingsStatic load ratings) and with IS0 DIS 281-1989 (Rolling bearings-Dynamic load ratings and rating life). Any significant differences, where they occur, are indicated in this standard. The principal difference between this standard and IS0 DIS 281 is the use of the f,, factor which combined the f, and b, factors used in IS0 281. Dynamic load ratings calculated for the same bearing should have the same value, however, when following either this or the IS0 Standard unless noted otherwise in this standard. The life adjustment factor for use with capacities calculated Standard may not be valid for fc, values incorporate material previously adjusted by means special bearing properties, a2, intended for in accordance with previous revisions of this use with the current capacities. The present and processing improvements which were of the a2 factor.

Copies of IS0 Standards concerning Rolling Contact Bearings (Ball and Roller Bearings) are available from the American National Standards Institute. Suggestions for the improvement of this standard gained from its use will be welcomed. Such suggestions should be sent to the American National Standards Institute, Inc., 1430 Broadway, New York, N.Y., 10018.

Load Ratings and Fatigue Life

for Roller Bearings
1. INTRODUCTION 1 .l Purpose of Standard Roller bearing performance is a function of many variables. These include the bearing design, the characteristics of the material from which the bearings are made, the way in which they are manufactured, as well as many variables associated with their application. The only sure way to establish the satisfactory operation of a bearing selected for a specific application is by actual performance in the application. As this is often impractical, another basis is required to estimate the suitability of a particular bearing for a given application. This is the purpose of this standard. This standard specifies the method of calculating the basic dynamic load rating of rolling bearings within the size ranges shown in the relevant ANSVAFBMA standards, manufactured from contemporary, commonly used, good quality hardened steel in accordance with good manufacturing practice and basically of conventional design as regards the shape of rolling contact surfaces. This standard also specifies the method of calculating the basic rating life, which is the life associated with 90% reliability, with commonly used material and manufacturing quality, and with conventional operating conditions. In addition, it specifies the method of calculating adjusted rating life, in which various reliabilities, special bearing properties and specific operating conditions are taken into account by means of life adjustment factors. Furthermore, this standard specifies the method of calculating the basic static load rating and the static equivalent load for roller bearings within the size ranges shown in the relevant ANSVAFBMA Standards, manufactured from good quality hardened steel, in accordance with good manufacturing practice and basically of conventional design as regards the shape of rolling contact surfaces. 1.2 Life Criterion Even if roller bearings are properly mounted, adequately lubricated, protected from foreign matter, and are not subjected to extreme operating conditions, they can ultimately fatigue. Under ideal conditions, the repeated stresses developed in the contact areas between the roller and the raceways eventually can result in fatigue of the material which manifests itself as spalling of the load carrying surfaces. In most applications the fatigue life is the maximum useful life of a bearing. This fatigue is the criterion of life used as the basis for the first part of this standard. Fatigue life calculated in accordance with this standard does not represent the maximum that can be attained by applying all known technology to roller bearing design and application. Neither does it represent the minimum that should be expected of a bearing made by a producer lacking skill and experience in the design and manufacture of roller bearings, even though the bearing meets the geometric parameters given below. The calculated fatigue life represents the performance normally expected from high quality bearings made by reputable manufacturers. Manufacturers can supply longer lived bearings by the application of advanced materials and manufacturing processes. The present standard has evolved as a means for bearing users to specify a reasonable standard of performance for the bearing they wish to purchase. 1.3 Static Load Criterion A static load is a load acting on a nonrotating bearing. Permanent deformations appear in rollers and raceways under a

static load of moderate magnitude and increase gradually with increasing load. It is often impractical to establish whether the deformations appearing in a bearing in a specific application are permissible by testing the bearing in that application. Other methods are therefore required to establish the suitability of the bearing selected. Experience shows that a total permanent deformation of 0.0001 of the rolling element diameter, at the center of the most heavily loaded roller/raceway contact, can be tolerated in most bearing applications without the subsequent bearing operation being impaired. The basic static load rating is, therefore, given a magnitude such that approximately this deformation occurs when the static equivalent load is equal to the load rating. Tests indicate that a load of the magnitude in question may be considered to correspond to a calculated contact stress of 4000 MPa (580,000 bearings psi) for all roller

The permissible static equivalent load may be smaller than, equal to or greater than the basic static load rating, depending on the requirements for smoothness of operation and friction, as well as on actual contact surface geometry. Bearing users without previous experience of these conditions should consult the bearing manufacturers.

DEFINITIONS For the purposes of this Standard, the definitions given in ANSVAFBMA Standard 1 together with the following apply. 3.1 Life For an individual rolling bearing, the number of revolutions which one of the bearing rings (or washers) makes in relation to the other ring (or washer) before the first evidence of fatigue develops in the material of one of the rings (or washers) or rolling elements. 3.2 Reliability life) (in the context of bearing

and manufacturing quality, and under conventional operating conditions. 3.6 Adjusted Rating Life, L,, The rating life obtained by adjustment of the basic rating life for a desired reliability level, special bearing properties and specific operating conditions. 3.7 Basic Dynamic Rating, C, Radial Load

That constant stationary radial load which a rolling bearing could theoretically endure for a basic rating life of one million revolutions. 3.8 Basic Static Radial Load Rating, C,, Static radial load which corresponds to a calculated contact stress at the center of the most heavily loaded rolling element/ raceway contact of - 4000 MPa (580,000 psi). NOTE: For this contact stress, a total permanent deformation of rolling element and raceway occurs which is approximately 0.0001 of the rolling element diamater. 3.9 Basic Dynamic Axial Load Rating, C, That constant centric axial load which a rolling bearing could theoretically endure for a basic rating life of one million revolutions. 3.10 Basic Static Axial Load Rating, C,, Static centric axial load which corresponds to a calculated contact stress at the center of the most heavily loaded rolling element/raceway contact of - 4000 MPa (580,000 psi) for thrust roller bearings. NOTE: For this contact stress, a total permanent deformation of rolling element and raceway occurs which is approximately 0.0001 of the rolling element diameter. 3.11 Dynamic Load, P,, Equivalent Radial

For a group of apparently identical rolling bearings, operating under the same conditions, the percentage of the group that is expected to attain or exceed a specified life. The reliability of an individual rolling bearing is the probability that the bearing will attain or exceed a specified life. 3.3 Static Load The load acting on a bearing when the speed of rotation of its rings in relation to each other is zero. 3.4 Pitch Diameter of a Roller Set, D,, The diameter of the circle intersecting the roller axes at the middle of the rollers in one row in a bearing. 3.5 Basic Rating Life, L,, For an individual rolling bearing, or a group of apparently identical rolling bearings operating under the same conditions, the life associated with 90% reliability, with contemporary, commonly used material

That constant stationary radial load under the influence of which a rolling bearing would have the same life as it will attain under the actual load conditions.

3.18 Line Contact Line contact refers to rollers and race ways so formed that under no load and when in good alignment they contact along the full length of their basic form. 3.19 Point Contact Point contact refers to rollers and raceways so formed that under no load and when in good alignment they contact at a point located approximately at the middle of the rollers. 3.20 Optimized Contact Optimized contact refers to such design of the basic form of the rollers and/or ring raceways that under a bearing load somewhere in the range of 25% to 50% of the basic dynamic radial load rating C,, the material stress is substantially uniform along the entire effective length of the contact at the most heavily loaded roller. Ideally, roller bearings are designed to approach optimized contact. 3.21 Conventional tions Operating Condi-

at the middle of the roller.

NOTE: For a tapered roller this is equal to the mean value of the diameters at the theoretically sharp corners at the large end and at the small end of the roller. For an asymmetrical convex roller this is an approximation of the diameter at the point of contact between the roller and the ribless raceway at zero load. 3.16 Roller Length Applicable culation of Load Ratings, L, in the Cal-

Conditions which may be assumed to prevail for a bearing which is properly mounted and protected from foreign matter, normally lubricated, conventionally loaded, not exposed to extreme temperature and not run at low or high speed. 4. SCOPE 4.1 Bearing Types 4.1 .I General. Roller bearings covered by this standard are presumed to be within the size ranges shown in the ANSVAFBMA dimensional standards, manufactured of good quality hardened steel in accordance with good manufacturing practice and basically of conventional design as regards the shape of rolling contact surfaces. Since small differences in relative shape of contacting surfaces may account for distinct differences in load carrying ability, this standard does not attempt to cover all design variations, rather it applies to basic roller bearing designs. 4.1.2 Basic Types. This standard ap-

The theoretical maximum length of contact between a roller and that raceway where the contact is shortest. NOTE: This is normally taken to be either the distance between the theoretically sharp corners of the roller minus the roller chamfers or the raceway width excluding the grinding undercuts, whichever is the smaller. 3.17 Nominal Contact Angle, cx The angle between a plane perpendicular to the bearing axis and the nominal line of action of the resultant of the forces transmitted by a bearing ring to a rolling element.

plies to cylindrical, spherical, and tapered roller bearings, self-aligning radial roller bearings and to needle roller bearings. 4.1.3 Double Row. Double row radial roller bearings and double direction thrust roller bearings, as specified by this standard, are presumed to be symmetrical. 4.2 Limitations 4.2.1 Truncated Contact Area. This standard may not be safely applied to roller bearings subjected to loading which causes the contact area of the roller with the raceway to be truncated by the edge of the raceway or roller. This limitation depends strongly on details of bearing design which are not standardized. 4.2.2 Materials. This standard applies to roller bearings made from hardened, good quality bearing steel. While a complete metallurgical description is beyond the scope of this standard, typical cleanliness and material composition specifications for bearing quality steel are given in ASTM A 295 and A 485 for through hardening steels, and in ASTM A 534 for carburizing steels. Typical hardness levels range from HRC 58 to 64 for rings or washers and HRC 60 to 65 for rollers. 4.2.3 Bearing Types. The f,, factors specified in basic load rating formulae are valid only for those roller bearing configurations specified in section 4.1 above. This standard is not applicable to designs where the rolling elements operate directly on a shaft or housing surface, unless that surface is equivalent in all respects to the bearing ring (or washer) raceway it replaces. 4.2.4 Lubrication. Basic rating life calculated according to this standard is based on the assumption that the bearing is adequately lubricated. Determination of adequate lubrication depends upon the bearing application. An adequate amount of an appropriate type of lubricant is essential to achieving expected performance. The Iubricant must be free of excessive contaminants and of a viscosity level that will provide a film thickness somewhat greater

than the rolling contact surfaces composite

roughness at the operating temperature.

4.2.5 Ring Support and Alignment. Basic rating life calculated according to this standard assumes that the bearing inner and outer rings are rigidly supported, and that the inner and outer ring axes are properly aligned. Bearing rings (or washers) must be mounted so that any deformation of rings as a result of mounting compliance is small compared to contact deformation under the applied load. 4.2.6 Internal Clearance. Radial roller bearing basic rating life calculated according to this standard is based on the assumption that only a nominal internal clearance occurs in the mounted bearing at operating speed, load and temperature. 4.2.7 High Speed Effects. Basic rating life calculated according to this standard does not account for high speed effects such as roller centrifugal forces and gyroscopic moments. These effects tend to diminish fatigue life. Analytical evaluation of these effects frequently requires the use of high speed digital computation devices and hence, cannot be included herein. 4.2.8 Stress Concentrations. A roller bearing must be expected to have a basic load rating less than that obtained using a value of f,, taken from Table 1 if, under load a stress concentration is present in some part of the roller-raceway contact. Such stress concentrations occur in the center of nominal point contacts, at the contact extremities for line contacts and at inadequately blended junctions of a rolling surface profile. Stress concentrations can also occur if the rollers are not accurately guided such as in bearings without cages and bearings not having rigid integral flanges. Values of f,, given in Tables 1, 4, 5 and 6 are based upon bearings manufactured to achieve optimized contact. For no bearing type or execution will the factor f,, be greater than that obtained in Table 1, 4, 5 or 6 as appropriate. 4.2.9 Tolerances. This standard applies to cylindrical and spherical radial roller bearings and self-aligning radial roller

. .

bearings made to RBEC 1 level of precision or better commensurate with ANSUAFBMA Standard 20, to tapered radial roller bearings covered by ANSI/AFBMA Standards 19.1 and 19.2, to needle radial roller bearings covered by ANSI/AFBMA Standards 18.1 and 18.2, to thrust needle roller bearings covered by ANSI/AFBMA Standards 21.1 and 21.2, tapered roller thrust bearings covered by ANSI/AFBMA Standard 23.2, and to cylindrical and spherical roller thrust bearings covered by ANSI/AFBMA Standards 24.1 and 24.2. 4.2.10 Plastic Deformation in the Contact Area. If P, > 0.5C,, then plastic deformation may occur in the contact area. The user should consult the bearing manufacturer for recommendations and evaluation of equivalent load and life. 4.3 Operating Parameter+ Calculations according to this standard do not yield satisfactory results for bearings subjected to such application conditions which cause deviations from a normal load distribution in the bearing, for example misalignment, housing or shaft deflection, rolling element centrifugal forces or other high speed effects, and preload or extra large clearance in radial bearings. Where there is reason to assume that such conditions prevail, the user should consult the bearing manufacturer for recommendations and evaluation of equivalent load and life. 5. RADIAL ROLLER BEARINGS

ent in some part of the roller/raceway contact. Such stress concentrations must be expected, for example, at the center of nominal point contacts, at the extremities of line contacts, in bearings where the rollers are not accurately guided and in bearings with rollers longer than 2.5 times the roller diameter. 5.1 .I Bearing Combinations 5.1.1 .I When calculating the basic radial load rating for two similar single row roller bearings mounted side-by-side on the same shaft such that they operate as a unit (paired mounting), in back-to-back or face-to- face arrangement, the pair is considered as one double row angular contact bearing. 5.1.1.2 the bearing two bearings pendently of not apply. If, for some technical reason, arrangement is regarded as which are replaceable indeeach other, then 5.1 .I .I does

5.1 .I .3 The basic radial load rating for two or more similar single row roller bearings mounted side-by-side on the same shaft such that they operate as a unit (paired or stack mounting) in tandem arrangement, properly manufactured and mounted for equal load distribution, is the number of bearings to the power of 7/9, times the rating of one single row bearing. 5.1.1.4 If, for some technical reason, the bearing arrangement is regarded as a number of single row bearings which are replaceable independent of each other, then 5.1 .I .3 does not apply. 5.2 Dynamic Equivalent Radial Load The dynamic equivalent radial load, P,, for radial roller bearings, under constant radial and axial loads, is given by P, = XF, + YF, Values of X and Y are given in Table 2 The dynamic equivalent radial load for radial roller bearings with (Y = O, and subjected to radial load only, is given by P, = F, NOTE: The ability of radial roller bearings

The bearing user should therefore consult the bearing manufacturer for recommendations regarding the evaluation of equivalent load in cases where bearings with QL= 0 are subjected to axial load. 5.5.1 Bearing Combinations 5.5.1.1 When calculating the static equivalent radial load for two similar singlerow roller bearings mounted side by side on the same shaft such that they operate as a unit (paired mounting) in back-toback or face-to-face arrangement, the X0 and Y, values for a double-row bearing and the F, and F, values for the total loads on the arrangement shall be used. 5.5.1.2 When calculating the static equivalent radial load for two or more similar single-row roller bearings mounted side by side on the same shaft such that they operate as a unit (paired or stack mounting) in tandem arrangement, the X0 and Y, values for a single-row bearing and the F, and F, values for the total loads on the arrangement shall be used. 6. THRUST ROLLER BEARINGS

6.1.1.2 If several rollers, on the same side of the bearing axis, are located with their axes coinciding, these rollers are considered as one roller with a length L,, equal to the sum of the lengths of the several rollers. Values off,, are given in Tables 4, 5 and 6. They are maximum values, only applicable to roller bearings in which, under a bearing load, the material stress is substantially uniform along the most heavily loaded roller/raceway contact. Smaller values of f,, than those given in Tables 4, 5 and 6 should be used if, under load, an accentuated stress concentration is present in some part of the roller/raceway contact. Such stress concentrations must be expected, for example, at the center of nominal point contacts, at the extremities of line contacts, in bearings where the rollers are not accurately guided and in bearings with rollers longer than 2.5 times the roller diameter. Smaller values of f,, should also be considered for thrust roller bearings in which the geometry causes excessive slip in the roller/raceway contact areas, for example bearings with cylindrical rollers which are long in relation to the pitch diameter of the roller set. 6.1.2 Bearings with Two or More Rows of Rollers. The basic dynamic axial load rating for thrust roller bearings with two or more rows of similar rollers carrying load in the same direction is given by c, = (Z,L,,, + Z2Lwe* + + Z,L,,)

of rollers carrying

In cases where rollers have different lengths, ZL,, is taken as the sum of the lengths, defined in 3.16, of all the rollers carrying load in one direction. 6.4.1 Bearing Combinations. The basic static axial load rating for two or more similar single-direction thrust roller bearings mounted side by side on the same shaft such that they operate as a unit (paired or stack mounting) in tandem arrangement, properly manufactured and mounted for equal load distribution, is the number of bearings times the rating of one single-direction bearing. 6.5 Static Equivalent Axial Load

It is often satisfactory to use the basic rating life, L,,, as a criterion of bearing performance. This life is associated with 90% reliability, with contemporary, commonly used material and manufacturing quality, and under conventional operating conditions. However, for many applications it may be desirable to calculate the life for a different reliability and/or for special bearing properties and operating conditions which deviate from the conventional in such a way that it is justified to take their influence into special consideration. The adusted rating life, L,,, i.e. the basic rating life adjusted for a reliability of (loon)%, for special bearing properties and for specific operating conditions, is given by La = ala2a3L10 Values of a, are given in Table 8. Values of a2 and a3 are discussed in 7.4 and 7.5. The value of L10 is calculated in accordance with 5.3 and 6.3. 7.2 Limitations In addition to the required fatigue life, other factors, such as maximum permissible bearing deflection and minimum shaft and housing strength, should be given due consideration when selecting the size of bearings for a given application. Particular discretion shall be exercised when using adjusted rating life values which are based on values of a2 and a3 greater than 1. 7.3 Life Adjustment Factor for Reliability, al Reliability is defined in 3.2. The adjusted rating life is calculated in accordance with 7.1. Values of the life adjustment factor a, are given in Table 8.

The static equivalent axial load for thrust roller bearings with OL# 90 is given by the formula P,, = 2.3F,tan(u + F, This formula is valid for all ratios of radial load to axial load in the case of doubledirection bearings. For single-direction bearings, it is valid where F,/F, < 0.44 cota and gives satisfactory but less conservative values of P,, for F,/F, up to 0.67 cota. Thrust roller bearings with cx = 90 can support axial loads only. The static equivalent axial load for this type of bearing is given by the formula Pm = Fa 6.5.1 Bearing Combinations.

7.5.1 Of the operating conditions directly influencing bearing life, the direction and magnitude of the load are considered in the calculation of the equivalent load, (5.2, 5.5, 6.2 and 6.5), and deviations from normal load distribution are discussed in 1.3. Operating conditions which remain to be taken into account here include the adequacy of the lubrication (at the operating speed and temperature), presence of foreign matter, conditions causing changes in material properties (for example high temperature causing reduced hardness) and mounting conditions. The influence on bearing life of such conditions may be taken into account by the introduction of a life adjustment factor as. 7.5.2 The calculation of basic rating life in this standard assumes that the lubrication is normal, i.e. that the lubricant film in the rolling element/raceway contacts has a thickness which is equal to or slightly greater than the composite roughness of the contact surfaces. Where this requirement is fulfilled, a3 is equal to 1, provided a lower value does not apply, for example because of a change in material properties caused by the operating conditions. 7.5.3 Values of a3 less than 1 should be considered, for example where the kinematic viscosity of the lubricant, at the operating temperature, is less than 13 mm21 s) for roller bearings and/or where the rotational speed is exceptionally low (i.e. D, in mm times revolutions per minute is less than 10,000). Values of a3 greater than 1 may be considered only where the lubrication conditions are so favourable that the probability of failure caused by surface distress is greatly reduced. Manufacturers of bearings are expected to supply recommendations regarding appropriate values of a3 to be used in the calculation of adjusted rating life in accordance with 7.1.

7.4 Life Adjustment Bearing Properties,

Factor a2

For Special

7.4.1 A bearing may acquire special properties, as regards life, by the use of a special type and quality of material and/or special manufacturing processes and/or special design. Such special life properties are taken into account by the application of the life adjustment factor a2. The present state of knowledge does not make it possible to define relationships between the values of a2 and quantifiable characteristics of the material or bearing raceway geometry, for example. The values of a2 have therefore to be based on experience, and may usually be obtained from the manufacturer of the bearing. 7.4.2 The use of a certain steel analysis and/or process as such is not sufficient justification for the use of an a, value other than 1. Values of a2 greater than 1 may, however be applicable to bearings made of steel of particularly low impurity content or of special analysis. However, if a reduced life is expected because of a hardness reduction caused by special heat treatment, this should be considered by the selection of a correspondingly reduced a2 value. 7.4.3 A special design involving an increased or reduced uniformity of the stress in the contacts between rolling elements and raceways should also be considered in the selection of the value of a2. 7.4.4 It may not be assumed that the use of a special material, process or design will overcome a deficiency in lubrication. Values of a2 greater than 1 should therefore normally not be applied if a3 is less than 1 because of such deficiency.

The standard in this booklet is one of more than 10,000 standards approved to date by the American National Standards institute. The Standards Institute provides the machinery for creating voluntary standards. It serves to eliminate duplication of standards activities and to weld conflicting standards into single, nationally accepted standards under the designation American National Standards. Each standard represents general agreement among maker, seller, and user groups as to the best current practice with regard to some specific problem. Thus the completed standards cut across the whole fabric of production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. American National Standards, by reason of Institute procedures, reflect a national consensus of manufacturers, consumers, and scientific, technical, and professional organizations, and governmental agencies. The completed standards are used widely by industry and commerce and often by municipal, state, and federal governments. The Standards Institute, under whose auspices this work is being done, is the United States clearinghouse and coordinating body for voluntary standards activity on the national level. It is a federation of trade associations, technical societies, professional groups, and consumer organizations. Some 1000 companies are affiliated with the Institute as company members. The American National Standards lnsitute is the United States member of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Through these channels U.S. standards interests make their positions felt on the international level. American National Standards are on file in the libraries of the national standards bodies of more than 60 countries.
