Loads

Minimum load

For additional information
→ Requisite minimum load

The minimum load requirements can be ignored for bearings operating at the relatively low speeds shown within the green area in diagram 1.

For operating speeds outside the green area use:

Equivalent dynamic bearing load

F_r ≤ 0,55 F_a and:

if run-out in the bearing arrangement does not affect the load distribution in the spherical roller thrust bearing
→ P = 0,88 (F_a + X F_r)
if run-out in the bearing arrangement affects the load distribution in the spherical roller thrust bearing (e.g. the run-out of another bearing that induces radial forces)
→ P = F_a + X F_r

F_r > 0,55 F_a → Use an additional bearing, which accommodates the radial load.

Equivalent static bearing load

For additional information
→ Equivalent static load

F_r ≤ 0,55 F_a → P₀ = F_a + X₀ F_r

F_r > 0,55 F_a → Use an additional bearing, which accommodates the radial load.
