radiaalikuormat
Radiaalikuormat, or radial loads, are forces that act perpendicular to the axis of a rotating shaft. In machine elements such as bearings and housings, radial loads are the primary loading component and are distinct from axial (thrust) loads, which act along the shaft axis. Radial forces arise from gears and pulleys, belt tensions, gravity on rotating parts, misalignment, mounting fit, and inertial effects during acceleration or deceleration.
In bearing design, the ratio of axial to radial load influences the choice of bearing type and
Selection and application considerations include maximum and peak radial loads, load spectra, cycling, and misalignment. For
Practical design notes emphasize proper mounting to avoid unintended radial components from misfits, adequate lubrication, and
