The four characteristic rates of a rolling-element bearing, from geometry.

Derived, not tabulated. Under pure rolling the cage advances at half the sum of the race surface speeds, which with r = d/D cos(alpha) gives, per shaft revolution rate f_r = rpm/60:

Two exact identities fall out and are asserted in the tests, because they catch a transposed d and D immediately: BPFO + BPFI = N f_r exactly, and BPFO = N * FTF exactly. Measured for the defaults (1800 rpm, 9 elements, d = 8, D = 40, alpha = 0): ratio = 0.200000, f_r = 30.000000, FTF = 12.000000, BPFO = 108.000000, BPFI = 162.000000, BSF = 72.000000 Hz, with BPFO + BPFI - 9 f_r = 0.000e+00 and BPFO - 9 FTF = 0.000e+00 — exactly zero in float64, not merely small.

Returns a dict with shaft_hz, ftf_hz, bpfo_hz, bpfi_hz, bsf_hz, ratio (d/D cos alpha), and the inputs echoed back. Also bsf_hz_2x: a rolling element normally strikes both races per spin, so a spall on the element itself is usually seen at 2 * BSF, and reporting only BSF is the classic way to miss it.

These are the no-slip kinematic rates. Real bearings slip by roughly a percent, so an observed line within about 1 % of one of these is a match and an exact match is a coincidence; that tolerance is the caller’s to apply.

Raises ValueError: non-real / string / bool scalars, rpm <= 0, n_elements not an int >= 2, non-positive diameters, an element_diameter >= pitch_diameter (geometrically impossible — the rolling elements would not fit inside the pitch circle, and the usual cause is the two arguments being swapped, which otherwise returns a negative FTF and a plausible-looking BPFI), and |contact_angle_deg| >= 90.
