Drehzahlkennwert

German to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Fettschmierung
Die folgende Aufstellung zeigt eine Auswahl von Fetten, die für hohe Drehzahlen
(***Drehzahlkennwert*** n x dm ≥ 1 x 106 mm/min) eingesetzt werden.
Je nach Anwendung können mit den synthetischen Hochgeschwindigkeitsfetten Werte bis 1,5 x 106 mm/min und höher
erreicht werden.

D. I. Verrelli Jul 10, 2017:
Formatting When I first read the text quoted in the question I got confused.
Eventually I guessed that "1 x 106 mm/min" is probably supposed to be scientific notation:
1×10<sup>6</sup> mm/min.

speed factor or speed index

The speed index n x dm is a measure for the grease stressing by the speed, where n is the rotational speed of the bearing and dm is the main bearing diameter.

In Table 10-2, speed factor (also referred to as speed index) is determined by multiplying the
pitch diameter of the bearing by the bearing speed as follows;
(10-1)
where D is the bearing diameter (mm), d is the bore diameter (mm), and n is the rev/min. Speed factors
above 200,000 are usually indicative of fluid film lubrication applications.

For bearings with low-viscosity petroleum oil lubricant, the maximum operating speed is dictated by cage type and material, and centrifugal ball loads. In this ideal case the maximum operating inner ring rotation speed is given from the speed factor dN, where dN is the product of the bearing bore (d mm) times the maximum speed (N RPM). Depending on bearing design, dN can have values up to 600,000.
