Can anyone tell how is the load carrying capacity of grease related to the actual operating conditions of bearing ?

Your question is vague. The only real way to answer it is to say, if the operating conditions exceed the load capacity of the grease, the unit will fail. Grease cannot increase the capacity of the bearing. Can you be more specific?
The load carrying capacity of the grease is primarily based on the viscosity of the oil in that grease. There are some synergies related to the thickener but for simplicity stick to the basics. Viscosity carries the load.

The load carrying capacity is also measured with the help of Macro-Tribometer mod. UMT-3 and Single row cylindrical roller bearings also.

Hi Pradyumna, If the bearing application has been designed to run on the grease recommended I would be inclined to consider your grease may be becoming contaminated in use, test the expelled grease for contamination and what we have noted when we test grease is if the grease being expelled is dark to black the PCT could be elevated as high as an ISO 22-23 where as a rolling element bearing should be an < ISO 16/13, regards Rob S
