    • For ball bearings static basic capacity (Co) can be calculated using the formula Kd2Z / 5, where Z = number of balls.
    • For straight roller bearings, Co = Kd LZ / 5 where L and d are diameter and length of rollers.

    Stribeck's equation to determine basic static capacity of ball bearings is based on assumptions specified below:
    1) After loading races retain their circular shape and are rigid.
    2) Balls in in the bearings are equally spaced.

    • AFBMA (Anti-friction Bearing Manufactures Association ) modified Stribeck's equation based on later experiences but Stribeck's equation is still used to determine basic static capacity of ball bearings.
