SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ENGLIAH FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERING Manufacturers catalogs give simple conversion methods to compute an equivalent radial load in cases where both radial and axial loads occur simultaneously in a rotating ball bearing. One manufacturer uses a load conversion factor FC which, when multiplied with the radial component R, gives the equivalent radial load P, which is then used to select a properly sized bearing. These load conversion factors depend upon the ratio of the thrust load and the radial load (t/r)and vary for different types of bearingsSCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ENGLISH FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERING Manufacturers' catalogs give simple conversion methods to compute an equivalent radial load in cases where both radial and axial loads occur simultaneously in a rotating ball bearing.
