Question

Taper rolling supports

(a) Axial loads

(b) Thrust loads

(c) Both axial and thrust loads

(d) None of the mentioned

This question was asked to me in my university exam.

This problem statement is from the Types of Bearings in module Rolling Contact Bearings, Spur Gears and Helical Gears of Machine Design

Answer 1

Recommended answer is (c) Both axial and thrust loads

To make it clear: The line of reaction makes an angle with the axis of bearing and hence both type of loads can be carried.
