🔍 Key Concepts

• Radial vs. axial directions on a rotating shaft • How bearings support side (transverse) loads versus end (thrust) loads • Visualizing forces using the shaft’s axis as a reference line

💭 Think About

• If you imagine the shaft as a straight line through space, what does it mean for a force to act along that line versus across it? • Think about a wheel on an axle: which direction is the weight of the vehicle acting on the axle, and is that considered radial or axial? • Which option best describes a load that would try to bend the shaft rather than push or pull it lengthwise?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice describes a load along the axis of the shaft — that is typically an axial (thrust) load, not radial. • Look for the option that clearly describes a load acting across / outward from the center of the shaft, relative to its axis. • Eliminate any answer that mixes perpendicular and parallel directions together, since radial and axial are usually treated as distinct types of load.

With respect to shaft bearing load absorption capability in terms of direction, what is meant by a radial load?

A radial load is a load applied tangent to the circumference of the shaft.

A radial load is a load applied perpendicular to the axis of the shaft.

A radial load is a load applied perpendicular and parallel to the axis of the shaft.

A radial load is a load applied parallel to the axis of the shaft.
