Bearing Selection
Bearing Selection
(OP)
First off, a preemptive thank you for anyone willing to help. I'm trying to find a maintenance-free bearing that will handle axial and thrust loads. I suppose an ideal solution would be a sealed, sheilded tapered roller bearing, but I can't find any. Shaft dia: about 1", low speed, 2000 lb axial load, unknown (but low) thrust load. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

If the 2000 lb is a radial load, you should have no trouble finding one that will deal with it.
For 2000 lb axial ( := thrust ), you'll need a bigger ball bearing.

Also, I agree with BrianPeterson. Most radial ball bearings can withstand small thrust loads anyway.

Get a couple of different catalogs; some of the presentations are more easily comprehensible.

These are commonly used in hevy duty caster wheels with a lube fitting.
