The Zoom webinar service EASA uses will ask to install a small plugin. Your computer must be configured to allow this in order to have full functionality. Please check with your IT department or company's security policy prior to scheduling a private webinar.

Private Webinars

EASA's private webinars are an inexpensive way to bring an EASA engineer into your service center, place of business or group meeting without incurring travel expenses or lost production time.

Basic electric motor bearing types, loads and applications

There are two main types of load that act on the bearings of a motor – radial and axial.

  • Radial – A radial load is defined as a load that is applied perpendicular to the shaft. An example of a radial load would be an overhung load, such as with a sheave.
  • Axial – An axial load, also referred to as thrust, is a load that acts parallel to the shaft on which the bearing is mounted. Just the rotor weight of a vertically mounted motor will cause a downward axial load on the bearing.

The type and magnitude of the load will determine what type of bearing should be used in the application. If the wrong type of bearing is used, it could lead to a motor failure in a short period of time.
