LUBRICATION
SPEED LIMITATION (SPEED and LUBRICANT FACTORS)
For bearings with low-viscosity petroleum oil lubricant, the maximum operating speed is dictated by
cage type and material, and centrifugal ball loads. In this ideal case the maximum operating inner ring
rotation speed is given from the speed factor dN, where dN is the product of the bearing bore (d mm)
times the maximum speed (N RPM). Depending on bearing design, dN can have values up to
600,000.

The maximum inner ring rotation speed with petroleum oil lubricant, Nmax RPM, is given for each
bearing size in the individual bearing tables of this catalog. This value must be reduced by a lubricant
factor fn to obtain the actual maximum inner ring operating speed of a bearing with a particular
grease lubricant.

Nactual = Nmax . fn

Values of the lubricant factor fn are given in the grease lubricant charts.

In the case of outer ring rotation, maximum speeds are reduced by approximately 20%. For more
specific information on maximum bearing speeds in different applications, contact Dynaroll.
