Question

Load acting on bearing in its plane of rotation iscalled as _______

Option A:
axial load

Option B:
radial load

Option C:
thrust load

Option D:
tangential load

Answer 1

Load acting on bearing in its plane of rotation is called as radial load.

• In the field of physics, radial load can simply be descried as the load acting at right angles from the axis of rotation.
• On the other hand, axial load acts parallel to the axis of rotation.
• The radial load  always tend to be perpendicular to the actions of the shaft.
• Hence, the load acting in plane of rotation will be the radial load.
