The short answer is yes—many roller bearings can handle axial loads, though capacity varies by design. Radial ball bearings, a widely used roller bearing type, are primarily engineered for radial loads but have inherent axial load capacity. This capacity is usually a percentage of the bearing’s static radial load rating, with key factors influencing it:
First, bearing dimensions. Bearings with a larger difference between bore diameter and outer ring diameter often offer higher axial capacity—sometimes up to 50% of their static radial load.
Second, raceway depth: thin section bearings have shallower raceways, which significantly reduces their axial load handling ability.
For scenarios needing combined radial and axial loads, specialized roller bearings (e.g., tapered roller bearings, spherical thrust roller bearings) are better options, as they’re optimized for enhanced axial performance.
In demanding applications like heavy machinery or civil engineering, GQZ bearings stand out. As spherical plain bearings, GQZ bearings excel at managing both axial and radial loads (note: radial loads should not exceed 50% of axial loads). They deliver high load capacity and long service life, making them a reliable choice for bridges and large structures requiring stable axial load control.
