Re: Uneven Thrust Loads on Needle Roller Bearings

If you only had one hinge, it would have to take a tremendous moment. But if you have two hinges about 6 feet apart, each only has to support a few pounds of radial load.
Well, I should I have mentioned that I plan to support the shaft with two bearings. Despite that, because of its design and application, the load that the arm exerts (~200 ft.*lbf.) must be cantilevered off the shaft. I can't support the shaft above and below the arm, only in two places below the arm. The separation of the bearing was planned to be only about 4", but I can investigate increasing that distance to something larger; maybe as high as 12".

Kevin -- I'll look into angular contact bearings. I'd never heard of them until now, so I don't know what they're typically used for, nor do I understand how they work Thanks for pointing out their existence.
