Direction of load
 |
|
|
| Combined load | Pure radial load | Pure axial load |
| The resulting load direction is determined by the ratio of radial to axial load. | Load direction 0° | Load direction 90° |
| Example: Deep groove ball bearing | Example: NU design cylindrical roller bearing (accommodates radial load only) | Example: Thrust ball bearing (accommodates axial load only) |
