The basic static load rating (C0r/C0a) is a static load of a defined direction and size where the calculated contact stress of the roller and the raceway at the contact area under maximum stress is 4,000 (MPa). (Contact stress exceeding this value may impede rotation.) This value is indicated as “C0r” or “C0a” in the dimensional table. When a load is statically or dynamically applied, it is necessary to consider the static safety factor as shown below.

fsr Static safety factor for C0r
C0r Basic static load rating (radial) (N)

    In general, factors that cause vibration and impacts include acceleration and deceleration, sudden starts and stops, transmission of vibration and impacts from external devices and machines, and changes in processing force over time.

    The values in the table above are guidelines for minimum static safety factors. However, considering dynamic performance such as service life, we recommend a value of 7 or above.
