What is L10? The L10 life is the number of revolutions or hours that 90% of a group of apparently identical bearings will complete or exceed before fatigue is expected to occur. In other words, 10% of the group is not expected to achieve the L10 life. The rating life can be calculated in terms […]

End users and OEMs frequently specify “lubed for life” mounted bearings, thinking the lubed-for-life bearings will deliver the same life – without lubrication – as bearings that currently require periodic lubrication. The truth is it depends on many factors, and only a detailed review of the application and testing will provide a more accurate answer. […]
