Estimate the remaining life in revolutions of an 02-30 mm angular-contact ball bearing already subjected to 200 000 revolutions with a radial load of 18 kN, if it is now to be subjected to a change in load to 30 kN.

Express Eq. (11-1) as
F L^{1/a}={\mathrm{constant}} (11-1)
F_{1}^{a}L_{1}=C_{10}^{a}L_{10}=KFor a ball bearing, a = 3 and for a 02-30 mm angular contact bearing, C_{10}=20.3\,\mathrm{kN}.
K=(20.3)^{3}(10^{6})=8.365(10^{9})At a load of 18 kN, life L_{\mathrm{1}} is given by:
L_{1}={\frac{K}{F_{1}^{a}}}={\frac{8.365(10^{9})}{18^{3}}}=1.434(10^{6})\,\mathrm{rev}For a load of 30 kN, life {L}_{2} is:
L_{2}={\frac{8.365(10^{9})}{30^{3}}}=0.310(10^{6})\,\mathrm{rev}In this case, Eq. (7-57) – the Palmgren-Miner cycle ratio summation rule – can be expressed as
{\frac{l_{1}}{L_{1}}}+{\frac{l_{2}}{L_{2}}}=1Substituting,
{\frac{200\,000}{1.434(10^{6})}}+{\frac{l_{2}}{0.310(10^{6})}}=1l_{2}=0.267(10^{6})\;\mathrm{rev}
