1. Mechanically a gear with helical teeth produces an axial force . 2. However, injury can occur through axial force applied to the second metacarpal base. 3. The steel core is designed to resist the full axial force developed in the bracing. 4. In an unstable orientation, both axial forces are directed away from the center of the gear. 5. Most screws are " self locking " and axial force on the shaft will not turn the screw . ]] 6. The fracture load for axial forces of the tibia for example is about 50 to 60 times the body weight. 7. Furthermore, the normal and axial forces will have no effect, so tangential force must be provided by friction. 8. A drawback of the usual centrifugal design was the considerable axial force generated by the pump impeller, requiring a thrust bearing. 9. The magnetic force depends on the velocity of the particles as well as on their positions and can generate non-axial forces . 10. In a stable orientation, the helical gear faces are oriented so that each axial force is directed toward the center of the gear.
