I am designing a new hand held drill and trying to estimate thrust loads during drilling. Can anyone please help me
Thanks

Also, if you are really a computer engineer or scientist, as you have indicated, I suggest you consult with a mechanical engineer.

If you really mean thrust load, simply push your hand drill into a bathroom scale as hard as you can and read the result. The thrust load in a hand drill is simply the max load a user can exert.

The type of abuse I described would probably be limited to heavier duty drills such as a 1/2". Twist drills would not, IMO, be a tool that would abuse a drill's thrust bearing as much as, say, a larger dull masonry bit. There is almost no limit to the thrust that could be misapplied using such a bit.
I have no idea how to quantify "how much is enough" in this case. I'd probably take the coward's route and analyze a competitor's unit. Of course you'd want your marketing department to pick a unit with a good reputation...

My first thought was to use the drill force charts but because feed per revolution is always going to be unknown I discarded the idea. Then I remembered my grinder experience and thought it would help.
