I keep coming up to the fact that I want to know how much I can load a bearing.
In my current use case I want to make machine skates for moving machinery around, but I have no idea how much weight a bearing can take.
Let's say I make a regular square skate with 2 axles thus 4 bearings(one on each corner so to say).
How would I be able to calculate/know the load this theoretical skate could take?
For the example, let's say I've chosen to go with 6201-2z bearings.
I can see in SKF's spec sheet they should be able to statically take 3.1 kN and dynamically 7.28kN, but this tells me nothing as I don't know how to apply this unit.
I would very much appreciate if someone has some insight!
