Hi,

ISMB: it's a (big) business.

Another ball bearing vs. roller bearing aspect:
roller bearing: higher friction; higher inner temperature

That is why you won't find roller bearings for high rev applications.

Forces: shure there are all kinds of forces, because the IMS also transmits forces from one side to the other and it's not a static system because you accelerate and decelerate.:

Regards, Markus
