I agree with NI0K that whether the mast weight should be on the bearing or
one the rotator depends but for a different reason. Usually I have the
thrust bearing support the weight however there is at least one rotator
where it is recommended that the weight be on the rotator for the seals to
properly function.

Depends. What structure holds the thrust bearing? What structure holds the
rotor? What is the weight of the antenna array and mast? What is the weight
bearing capacity of the rotor? Which tower?
If you supply some details, I'll be happy to weigh in.
