  • What is meant by the radial load on a bearing?


  • Hi 3rrotec: Thanks for the interesting question. The best, most concise, explanation I found for radial load on a bearing is at: Rolling Bearing Fundamentals URL: http://www.maintenanceresources.com/ReferenceLibrary/Bearings/rbf.htm Quote: "Depending on the internal design, rolling bearings may be classified as radial bearings or thrust bearings. A radial bearing is designed primarily for carrying a radial load. Radial load is a pressing force at right angles to the shaft (Figure 4). Thrust load is a pushing force against the bearing parallel to the shaft (Figure 5)." Have a look at the accompanying graphics for this quote. Other valuable pages include: How Bearings Work http://www.howstuffworks.com/bearing2.htm What is radial load ? http://www.parvalux.co.uk/questions_full.asp?id=20 I hope this helps! websearcher-ga Search Strategy: "radial load" bearing ://www.google.ca/search?q=%22radial+load%22+bearing&ie=ISO-8859-1&hl=en&meta= "what is radial load" ://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=%22what+is+radial+load%22+&meta=
