I did find a NASA paper discussing radial ball bearings, rather than the angular contact ball bearings shown in the drawings. It does talk about reduced life for loose bearings though, so I think the results could still be somewhat applicable. I might be able to find you a better paper if I knew exactly what you're looking for. | |

| Dec 9, 2014 at 17:17 | comment | added | Eph | I added a couple references, but they don't really address what I think is the heart of your question "what is the load distribution across the bearings?" I saw some research papers on the topic, but I don't want to site something you'd have to pay for. I also saw some evidence that not all bearings require a positive force on all the balls during opertion (ei only some of the balls would be holding the weight while the others would be coasting). However, I believe in the instance of the loose ball bearings, that in order to have smooth operation, all bearings would have at least some load. | |

Added a link to some displacement figures and and fixed the simplification I was using
