Radial Load - A load applied normal to the bearing bore axis and parallel to the shank axis.

Axial Load - A load applied along the bearing bore axis.

Static Radial
 Limit  Load

That static load required to produce a specific permanent set in the bearing structure. It will vary for a given size as a function of configuration. It may also be PIN limited as a function of body restraints as in the case of rod ends bearings.

Static Radial Ultimate Load

That load that can be applied to a bearing without fracturing the ball, race, or rod end eye. The ultimate load rating is usually, but not always 1.5 times the limit load.

Static  Axial
