Question:

Why can thrust ball bearings not sustain radial loads?

Why cylindrical roller bearings can not bear axial load?.

Answer:

The thrust bearing retainer plate and two pieces of circular hole of the ball and the ball hole and shaft wear in the park, circular plate, steel ball track between two plate, shaft and the bearing seat of the top plate in the round two sides, in addition to the track groove, it is not binding the radial direction, so it cannot withstand the radial load.The radial bearing by the size of the two steel ring, steel ball size between steel ring, steel ring diameter fixed by a bearing seat, shaft mounted on a small steel ring, binding only in the radial direction and axial direction of the load is not binding, so it cannot withstand the axial diameter.
Bearing bearing axial force or radial force is determined by the structure of the bearing, thrust ball bearings are also called plane bearings, which are mainly used to bear axial force; cylindrical roller bearings can bear radial forces and are not suitable to bear axial force.
