Difference between radial and thrust directions

■Difference between radial and thrust directions

Radial refers to the direction perpendicular to the shaft, while thrust refers to the direction horizontal to the shaft. Radial load and thrust load are forces acting in the respective directions, and these loads affect the wear and vibration of shafts and bearings.

The load applied in the rotational direction is called a moment load.
