The purpose of providing multiple collars on a flat collar pivot bearing is to
- A. Increase frictional resistance
- B. To establish self-sustaining bearing conditions
- C. Distribute the frictional load because of limiting friction
- D. Distribute the axial load because of limiting bearing pressure on a collar
Answer: D. Distribute the axial load because of limiting bearing pressure on a collar
Explanation: The purpose of providing multiple collars on a flat collar pivot bearing is to distribute the axial load because of limiting bearing pressure on a collar.
