If there is a large axial force, you need a thrust bearing to accommodate that force. I don't think many motors include a thrust bearing (I could be wrong), but if you use a motor with a "double shaft", you can put the thrust bearing on the end of the shaft that protrudes out the back of the motor...PCarson85 said:
Thrust force and torque are directly related, meaning that an increase in thrust force will result in an increase in torque. This is because thrust force is the force that acts perpendicular to the axis of rotation, causing an object to rotate, and torque is the measure of the force that causes an object to rotate.
Yes, a change in thrust force can change the direction of torque. If the thrust force is applied in the opposite direction of the current rotation, the torque will also change direction. This is because torque is a vector quantity and its direction is dependent on the direction of the applied force.
The distance between the thrust force and the pivot point, also known as the lever arm, has a direct effect on torque. The longer the lever arm, the greater the torque will be. This is because the longer lever arm allows for a greater moment arm, resulting in a larger torque.
The formula for calculating torque with thrust force is T = F x r, where T is the torque, F is the thrust force, and r is the distance between the thrust force and the pivot point (lever arm). This formula is based on the principle that torque is equal to the product of force and distance.
The direction of thrust force has a significant impact on the direction of torque. When the thrust force is applied in the same direction as the current rotation, it will increase the magnitude of the torque. However, if the thrust force is applied in the opposite direction, it will decrease the magnitude of the torque and can even cause the object to rotate in the opposite direction.
