The rated viscosity v1 required for adequate lubrication, is

determined form below diagram, using mean diameter dm = 0.5(D+d)[mm]
and the rotational speed of the bearing n [rpm].

When the operating temperature is known, the corresponding viscosity

at the internationally standardized reference temperature of 40 °C
(105 °F) can be obtained.
