⚡Load Ratings

Dynamic Load (Cr) 7.65kN
Static Load (Cor) 3.72kN
Load Capacity (kN) 7.65kN
Load Capacity (kg) 779kg

💡What This Means

Dynamic Load (7.65kN): Maximum force while rotating. Exceeding this causes rapid wear and failure within hours.
Static Load (3.72kN): Maximum force when stationary. Use 80% for safety.
Calculate Your Load: Measure shaft forces, belt tensions, or gear loads. Include shock/vibration factors.
Failure Warning: Overloading causes bearing raceways to crack and balls to flatten permanently.
