Oh your dead right, thrust it is. Perfect illustration
Put thrust load on that roller bearing in your picture and it will immediately fail. Not after a few rotations, I mean immediately fail as "it just won't spin anymore".
hence why I was confused with JFP's thrust explanation. In fact, I'm convinced its a spelling mistake he didn't bother to correct. Or perhaps he's trying to make fun of the IMS business-goin'on thing situation. I don't know man.
If indeed that IMS shaft suddenly requires both thrust and load management then one needs a bloody
angular bearing on that axis. Beside these sort of shaft design are rare as hell, they are terrible design in fact and are avoided as much as possible. Porsche?!
