Axial load on common ball bearings is a problem!!
So shouldn't you guys be looking at thrust bearings
or thrust bearing -- axial bearing combination?
and
Is plywood and PVC strong enough to handle all of this
:S
"A2 --- Motor bearings should never be axially loaded, as they don't have thrust bearings.
Deep V-grove bearings is an attempt to address axial loads, but I don't know what they put in a NEMA motor.
If the single shaft NEMA motors has a bronze bushing on the end of the shaft it wouldn't last long.
If there are 2 deep V bearings, and the bearings are up against a stepped edge, then it might work for the DIY'er/hacker/maker."
