Axial Load Capacity
Deep groove ball
bearings by nature of their design can carry axial loads either alone
or in combination with radial loads. Axial load capacity of standard
bearings is 0.5 times the Basic Static Load Rating, CO of
that bearing. Smaller bearings should not be subject to a load greater
than 0.25 times CO. Excessive axial loads can lead to serious
reduction of bearing service life.
