Thrust Bearing diagram
Rolling Thrust Bearing: Basic L10 Rating-life Calculator
Calculate basic rolling-bearing L10 life from catalogue rating, equivalent axial load and constant speed. The calculation does not guarantee service life or select a bearing.
Vertical Shaft Step diagram
Vertical Shaft Step: Static Thrust and Mean-pressure Calculator
Compare static axial load with nominal annular area at a vertical shaft step. Mean pressure does not establish bearing capacity or life.
Conical Roller Thrust Bearing diagram
Conical Roller Thrust Bearing: Geometry, Motion and Surface-Speed Calculator
Explore a conical roller thrust-bearing idealization. Compare race surface speeds at two radii and see how cone angle changes roller thickness and spin.
