Bearing Technical FAQ

Q: What are dynamic and static load ratings?

A: Basic dynamic load rating C is the constant radial load the bearing survives for 1 million revolutions (ISO 281); basic static load rating C0 is the maximum static load before permanent rolling-element deformation exceeds a set limit. C governs fatigue life, C0 governs safe start/stop and shock. For frequent starts or impacts, verify C0.
