# Combined Radial and Axial Loads from Gear Meshing

## Combined Radial and Axial Loads from Gear Meshing

In gearboxes with helical and bevel gears, bearings simultaneously withstand radial and axial loads from meshing forces. These loads vary depending on the transmitted torque and speed.

## Sources of Loads

- Radial forces from gear meshing
- Axial forces from helical gear meshes
- Moment loads from eccentric forces
- Dynamic loads during operating mode changes

## Solutions

Tapered roller bearings and angular contact ball bearings are used, which can withstand combined loads. Paired bearing sets are employed. It is recommended to select bearings with an optimal contact angle.
