Introduction
I S O/ R 281: 1962
A first discussion on an international level of the question of standardizing calculation methods for
load ratings of rolling bearings took place at the 1934 conference of the International Federation of
the National Standardizing Associations (ISA). When ISA held its last conference in 1939, no progress
had been made. However, in its 1945 report on the state of rolling bearing standardization, the ISA 4
Secretariat included proposals for definition of concepts fundamental to load rating and life calculation
standards. The definitions it contained are in essence those given in ISO 281:2007 for the concepts
“life” and “basic dynamic load rating” (now divided into “basic dynamic radial load rating” and “basic
dynamic axial load rating”).
In 1946, on the initiative of the Anti-Friction Bearing Manufacturers Association (AFBMA), New York,
discussions of load rating and life calculation standards started between industries in the USA and
Sweden. Chiefly on the basis of the results appearing in Reference [5], an AFBMA standard, Method of
[3]
evaluating load ratings of annular ball bearings , was worked out and published in 1949. On the same
basis, the member body for Sweden presented, in February 1950, a first proposal to ISO, “Load rating of
ball bearings”.
In view of the results of both further research and a modification to the AFBMA standard in 1950, as
well as interest in roller bearing rating standards, in 1951, the member body for Sweden submitted a
modified proposal for rating of ball bearings as well as a proposal for rating of roller bearings.
Load rating and life calculation methods were then studied. Reference [6] was then of considerable use,
serving as a major basis for the sections regarding roller bearing rating.
ISO 281-1:1977
In 1964, in view of the development of improved bearing steels, the time had come to review ISO/R281
and submitted a proposal
In 1969, on the other hand, TC 4 followed a suggestion by the member body for Japan and reconstituted
its WG 3, giving it the task of revising ISO/R281. The AFBMA load rating working group had at this time
started revision work.
The major part of ISO 281-1:1977 constituted a re-publication of ISO/R281, the substance of which had
been only very slightly modified. However, based mainly on American investigations during the 1960s,
a new clause was added, dealing with adjustment of rating life for reliability other than 90 % and for
material and operating conditions.
Furthermore, supplementary background information regarding the derivation of mathematical
expressions and factors given in ISO 281-1:1977 was published as ISO/TR 8646:1985.
ISO 281:1990
ISO 281:1990 was published as “First edition” and entitled “Dynamic load ratings and rating life”. It is
referred to as the “technical revision” of ISO 281-1:1977. The new rating factor b for “contemporary,
m
normally used material and manufacturing quality, the value of which varies with bearing type and
design” was the introduction as a co-value to the basic dynamic load ratings.
ISO 281:2007 (second edition)
Since the publication of ISO 281:1990 additional knowledge regarding the influence on bearing life of
contamination, lubrication, internal stresses from mounting, stresses from hardening, fatigue load
limit of the material, has been gained. In ISO 281:1990/Amd.2:2000, a general method was presented to
consider such influences in the calculation of a modified rating life of a bearing. The said Amendment
was incorporated into the second edition, which also provides a practical method to consider the
influence on bearing life of lubrication conditions, contaminated lubricant and fatigue load of bearing

The derivation of the basic dynamic load ratings is described in Formulae (1) to (46). The dynamic

rating life is described in Formulae (83) to (89).
6 Basic dynamic load rating
6.1 General
The background to basic dynamic load ratings of rolling bearings according to ISO 281 appears in
References [5] and [6].
The expressions for calculation of basic dynamic load ratings of rolling bearings develop from a power
formula that can be written as follows:
ce

o
ln ∝ (1)
h
S
z
o
where
S is the probability of survival;
τ is the maximum orthogonal subsurface shear stress;
o
N is the number of stress applications to a point on the raceway;
V is the volume representative of the stress concentration;
z is the depth of the maximum orthogonal subsurface shear stress;
o
c, h are experimentally determined exponents;
e is the measure of life scatter, i.e. the Weibull slope determined experimentally.
For “point” contact conditions (ball bearings) it is assumed that the volume, V, representative of the
stress concentration in Formula (1) is proportional to the major axis of the projected contact ellipse,

With radial ball bearings, the faults in bearings resulting from manufacturing need to be taken into
consideration, and a reduction factor, λ, is introduced to reduce the value for a basic dynamic radial load
rating for radial ball bearings from its theoretical value. It is convenient to include λ in the factor, fc. The
value of λ is determined experimentally.

ISO/TR 1281-1:2021(F)

Introduction
I S O/ R 281: 1962
Une première discussion de niveau international portant sur la normalisation des méthodes de calcul
des charges de base des roulements eut lieu en 1934 lors de la conférence de la Fédération Internationale
des Associations Nationales de Normalisation (ISA). Lorsque l'ISA tint sa dernière réunion en 1939,
aucun progrès n'était encore intervenu. Pourtant, dans son rapport de 1945 sur l'état de la normalisation
dans le domaine des roulements, le Secrétariat de l'ISA 4 incluait des propositions de définitions de
concepts fondamentaux pour les normes de calcul de charges de base et de durée. Les définitions qu'il
contenait étant en substance celles que reprend l'ISO 281:2007 sous les termes de «durée» et de «charge
dynamique de base» (cette dernière étant maintenant séparée en «charge dynamique radiale de base»
et «charge dynamique axiale de base»).
Les discussions sur les normes de calcul de durée et de charges de base reprirent en 1946 entre les
spécialistes américains et suédois à l'initiative de l'AFBMA — Anti-Friction Bearing Manufacturers
Association (New York). Une norme AFBMA, publiée en 1949, intitulée «Method of evaluating load
[3]
ratings of annular ball bearings» fut élaborée sur la base principalement des résultats figurant dans
la Référence [5]. Partant de la même source, le Comité membre suédois soumit en février 1950 une
première proposition à l'ISO intitulée «Charges de base des roulements à billes».
Compte tenu des recherches nouvelles, de la révision de la norme AFBMA en 1950 et également de
l'intérêt pour les normes de calcul des roulements à rouleaux, le Comité membre Suédois présenta, en
1951, une proposition modifiée de calcul des roulements à billes, puis une proposition de calcul des
roulements à rouleaux.
Ces méthodes de calcul furent étudiées. La Référence [6] eut alors un retentissement considérable sur
l'élaboration des chapitres relatifs au calcul des roulements à rouleaux.
ISO 281-1:1977
En 1964, au vu de l'amélioration des aciers pour roulements, il était temps de réviser l'ISO/R281 et de
soumettre une proposition.
En 1969, cependant, le TC 4 suivit la suggestion du Comité membre Japonais de reconstituer le GT 3 et
de lui donner pour tâche de réviser l'ISO/R281. Le groupe AFBMA de calcul des charges de base avait
également à l'époque repris les travaux pour réviser la norme.
La majeure partie de l’ISO 281-1:1977 constitue une réédition de l’ISO/R281 dont le fond n'est que très
peu modifié. Un nouvel article a cependant été ajouté, résultat de recherches américaines des années
1960 et qui traite de la correction à apporter à la durée si la fiabilité est supérieure à 90 % ou pour tenir
compte des matériaux et des conditions de fonctionnement.
Des informations complémentaires relatives à la manière dont sont déterminés les expressions et
facteurs de l'ISO 281-1:1977 ont été publiées sous la référence ISO/TR 8646:1985.
ISO 281:1990
La «première édition» de l’ISO 281:1990 a été publiée et intitulée «Charges dynamiques de base
et durée nominale». Il y est fait référence en tant que «révision technique» de l’ISO 281-1:1977. Le
nouveau facteur de notation b pour «facteur de calcul pour un matériau et une fabrication modernes
m
et habituels. Sa valeur dépend du type et de la conception du roulement» a été l’introduction d’une co-
valeur des charges dynamiques de base.
ISO 281:2007 (deuxième édition)
Depuis la publication de l’ISO 281:1990, des connaissances supplémentaires concernant l’influence
de la contamination, de la lubrification, des contraintes internes dues au montage et contraintes dues
au durcissement, et de la limite de charge de fatigue du matériau sur la vie des roulements, ont été
acquises. Dans l’ISO 281:1990/Amd 2:2000, une méthode générale a été présentée pour tenir compte de
© ISO 2021 – Tous droits réservés v

---------------------- Page: 5 ----------------------
ISO/TR 1281-1:2021(F)

ces influences dans le calcul de la durée de vie nominale modifiée d'un roulement. Le dit amendement
a été incorporé à la deuxième édition, qui fournit également une méthode pratique pour prendre en
compte l'influence des conditions de lubrification, du lubrifiant contaminé et de la charge de fatigue du
matériau du roulement sur la vie du roulement. Les facteurs de modification de la durée de vie pour la
fiabilité, a , ont été légèrement ajustés et étendus à une fiabilité de 99,95 %.

6.1 Généralités
Les calculs de charges dynamiques de base de l'ISO 281 sur les roulements sont fondés sur les
Références [5] et [6].

S est la probabilité de survie;
τ est la composante orthogonale de la contrainte maximale de cisaillement sous la surface;

z est la profondeur de la composante orthogonale de la contrainte maximale de cisaillement
o
sous la surface;
c, h sont des exposants déterminés expérimentalement;
e est la mesure de la dispersion de la durée, c'est-à-dire la pente de la courbe de Weibull,
déterminée expérimentalement.
Dans les conditions de contact «ponctuel» (roulements à billes), on prend comme hypothèse que le
volume, V, représentatif de la concentration des contraintes dans la Formule (1) est proportionnel
au grand axe de l'ellipse de contact projetée, 2a, à la circonférence du chemin de roulement, l, et à la
profondeur, z , de la composante orthogonale de la contrainte maximale de cisaillement sous la surface,

Dans les Références [5] et [6], il a été considéré qu'on pouvait admettre un contact «linéaire» lorsque

contact du rouleau:

6.2 Charge radiale dynamique de base, C , des roulements radiaux à billes

D'après la théorie de Hertz, la composante orthogonale de la contrainte maximale de cisaillement sous
la surface, τ , et sa profondeur, z , peuvent se rattacher à une charge radiale, F , c'est-à-dire une charge
o o r
maximale sur l'élément roulant, Q , ou une contrainte maximale de contact, σ , et aux dimensions de

En conséquence, pour un roulement donné, τ , a, l et z peuvent s'exprimer en fonction de la géométrie

Introduction
I S O/ R 281: 1962
A first discussion on an international level of the question of standardizing calculation methods for
load ratings of rolling bearings took place at the 1934 conference of the International Federation of
the National Standardizing Associations (ISA). When ISA held its last conference in 1939, no progress
had been made. However, in its 1945 report on the state of rolling bearing standardization, the ISA 4
Secretariat included proposals for definition of concepts fundamental to load rating and life calculation
standards. The definitions it contained are in essence those given in ISO 281:2007 for the concepts
“life” and “basic dynamic load rating” (now divided into “basic dynamic radial load rating” and “basic
dynamic axial load rating”).
In 1946, on the initiative of the Anti-Friction Bearing Manufacturers Association (AFBMA), New York,
discussions of load rating and life calculation standards started between industries in the USA and
Sweden. Chiefly on the basis of the results appearing in Reference [5], an AFBMA standard, Method of
[3]
evaluating load ratings of annular ball bearings , was worked out and published in 1949. On the same
basis, the member body for Sweden presented, in February 1950, a first proposal to ISO, “Load rating of
ball bearings”.
In view of the results of both further research and a modification to the AFBMA standard in 1950, as
well as interest in roller bearing rating standards, in 1951, the member body for Sweden submitted a
modified proposal for rating of ball bearings as well as a proposal for rating of roller bearings.
Load rating and life calculation methods were then studied. Reference [6] was then of considerable use,
serving as a major basis for the sections regarding roller bearing rating.
ISO 281-1:1977
In 1964, in view of the development of improved bearing steels, the time had come to review ISO/R281
and submitted a proposal
In 1969, on the other hand, TC 4 followed a suggestion by the member body for Japan and reconstituted
its WG 3, giving it the task of revising ISO/R281. The AFBMA load rating working group had at this time
started revision work.
The major part of ISO 281-1:1977 constituted a re-publication of ISO/R281, the substance of which had
been only very slightly modified. However, based mainly on American investigations during the 1960s,
a new clause was added, dealing with adjustment of rating life for reliability other than 90 % and for
material and operating conditions.
Furthermore, supplementary background information regarding the derivation of mathematical
expressions and factors given in ISO 281-1:1977 was published as ISO/TR 8646:1985.
ISO 281:1990
ISO 281:1990 was published as “First edition” and entitled “Dynamic load ratings and rating life”. It is
referred to as the “technical revision” of ISO 281-1:1977. The new rating factor b for “contemporary,
m
normally used material and manufacturing quality, the value of which varies with bearing type and
design” was the introduction as a co-value to the basic dynamic load ratings.
ISO 281:2007 (second edition)
Since the publication of ISO 281:1990 additional knowledge regarding the influence on bearing life of
contamination, lubrication, internal stresses from mounting, stresses from hardening, fatigue load
limit of the material, has been gained. In ISO 281:1990/Amd 2:2000, a general method was presented to
consider such influences in the calculation of a modified rating life of a bearing. The said Amendment
was incorporated into the second edition, which also provides a practical method to consider the
influence on bearing life of lubrication conditions, contaminated lubricant and fatigue load of bearing

The derivation of the basic dynamic load ratings is described in Formulae (1) to (46). The dynamic

rating life is described in Formulae (83) to (89).
6 Basic dynamic load rating
6.1 General
The background to basic dynamic load ratings of rolling bearings according to ISO 281 appears in
References [5] and [6].
The expressions for calculation of basic dynamic load ratings of rolling bearings develop from a power
formula that can be written as follows:

h

where
S is the probability of survival;
τ is the maximum orthogonal subsurface shear stress;
o
N is the number of stress applications to a point on the raceway;
V is the volume representative of the stress concentration;
z is the depth of the maximum orthogonal subsurface shear stress;
o
c, h are experimentally determined exponents;
e is the measure of life scatter, i.e. the Weibull slope determined experimentally.
For “point” contact conditions (ball bearings) it is assumed that the volume, V, representative of the
stress concentration in Formula (1) is proportional to the major axis of the projected contact ellipse,

For most thrust ball bearings, the theoretical value of a basic dynamic axial load rating has to be reduced
on the basis of unequal distribution of load among the rolling elements in addition to the reduction factor,
λ, which is introduced in to radial ball bearing load ratings. This reduction fa
