Getting two thrust bearings and a rotor aligned to rotate and not bind at some
point takes great skill or great luck. If you are putting the second thrust
bearing in so it can be run loose and only tightened when you need to pull the
rotor for maintenance that would be O.K. . Most rotors today are rated to hold
the vertical force of almost anything you can mount above them.

Subject: [TowerTalk] 2nd thrust bearing inside tower - you opinions??
Howdy,
Need a little advice.
Planning about 130 feet of Rohn 45 - 20 to 22 feet of mast - Force 12 Magnum
240N over a Force 12 C31-XR at the top - side mounting another C31-XR.
Considering a 2nd thrust bearing inside the tower.
Any suggestions/ideas/experiences you might share?
Tnx!
