50 Ways to Reduce a Duty Cycle - Part 2

In the first part, we reviewed how to take a duty cycle or one block of a duty cycle and reduce it to a single torque and calculate the cycles required to have the same amount of fatigue damage. Since speed isn't directly part of the basic bearing load equation, that can be left to your discretion. A note of caution — speed is not irrelevant in reality where oil viscosity and film play a role.
