Thrust Bearing Capabilities Thrust ball bearing: Thrust ball bearing: Thrust ball bearing: single direction single direction with double direction sphered housing washer
L10 = basic rating life, millions of s0 = static safety factor
revolutions P0 = equivalent static bearing load, N C = basic dynamic load rating, N C0 = basic static load rating, N P = equivalent dynamic bearing load, N p = exponent of the life equation With the load P = C With the load P0 = C0 the L10 life will be 1 million revolutions the static safety factor s0 will be 1

Heat Treatments Advantages Martensite hardening Bainitic hardening Case hardening
Less costly Tough structure Hard surface and soft core
resists through cracking Fixture can be used to Automatic dimensional reduce distortion stability Highest compressive residual surface stresses Compressive residual surface stresses
Disadvantages Martensite hardening Bainitic hardening Case hardening
Highest risk of propagation Somewhat more costly Time consuming and
of surface cracks than martensite costly process
Lower hardness
