I have short (12") vertical shaft. The shaft will supported at the top and bottom by a bearing. The only axial load will be from the weight of the shaft and gears on the shaft. I'll estimate the total weight of the shaft and gears at around 5 lbs. Shaft will rotate at around 1000 RPM.
From a practical standpoint, do you think I can get away with a standard roller or ball bearing for the bottom bearing, or do I need a bearing design to handle axial load? If so, any suggestions what the cheapest kind of bearing that would work for the bottom bearing?
