Abstract: A dynamic equivalent load P is calculated from data information of a rolling bearing. Next, a reliability coefficient a1 is determined, a lubrication parameter aL corresponding to a used lubricant is calculated, and a contamination degree coefficient ac is determined in consideration of a material coefficient. A fatigue limit load Pu is calculated on the basis of the data information. Thereafter, a load parameter {(P?Pu)/C}·1/ac is calculated.
