1. As example, a wheelbarrow wheel supports radial and axial loads . 2. Often Conrad style ball bearings will exhibit contact ellipse truncation under axial load . 3. Thrust bearings are used to support axial loads , such as vertical shafts. 4. The purpose of a ball bearing is to reduce rotational friction and support axial loads . 5. The axial loads are applied either hydraulically, mechanically, or with a slow burning chemical charge. 6. Self holding tapers rely on a heavy preponderance of axial load over torsional load to transmit high torques. 7. The cam followers aid in noise reduction, dampened vibration, shock absorption and the carrying of axial load . 8. An OSB skinned system structurally outperforms conventional stick framed construction in some cases; primarily in axial load strength. 9. Like other bearings they permit rotation between parts, but they are designed to support a predominately axial load . 10. A key feature of the Hirth joint is that, unlike simple backlash by simply applying an axial load .
