6. Determine the dynamic load rating
The dynamic load rating of the bearing is calculated from:

C = P L10(1/p) where P = equivalent dynamic bearing load, L10 is the required life of the bearing and p, the bearing life exponent, is 3.0 for ball bearings and 3.333 for roller bearings.

If the bearing runs at temperatures above 150oC adjust the dynamic load rating, C by the factor S, given in the following table,

TEMERATUREoC TEMPERATURE FACTOR, S
125 - 150 1.0
150 - 200 0.92
200 - 250 0.75
250 - 300 0.60
