> Finally (unless you've hit DELETE by now), the set screws do have an axial
force limit. I found on one bearing manufacturer's web pages a value of some
finite amount of force along the axis of rotation that the setscrew could
withstand. I cannot recall the actual value, but it is listed. This would
correspond to the dead weight limit of a vertically-mounted Amateur bearing.
As I
recall, this value was nowhere near the weight of a typical CM mast, let alone
a fully-configured mast/antennas/coax assembly.
You had me up until this paragraph. I'm not exactly sure what you are
implying. If you could post some setscrew limit numbers, then it'd be clearer
to
me. I'd be real grateful. Tnx.
Cheers,
