finishing machines or film stretching tion method. Lubricants change their consistency, apparent dynamic viscosity or viscosity depending on the mechano-
machinery dynamical loads, time, pressure and temperature. These changes in product characteristics may affect the function of a
component.
** Speed factors are guide values which depend on the type and size of the rolling bearing type and the local operating
conditions, which is why they have to be confirmed in tests carried out by the user in each individual case.
