What are the Loads on roller and ball bearings?

Most roller bearing systems help create a decreased amount of friction between items, such as a wheel and the axle the wheel has been centered on. This allows the wheel to spin freely on the axle without being bound by the force of friction. It also decreases the force of drag on the wheel as it spins. This allows a wheel to be more easily pushed by any power source applied to it, whether it's an engine or a person pushing a car.
