Is Side Loading and Eccentric Loading Permissible ?

Side loading, or radial loading is a force applied perpendicular to the actuator centreline. Eccentric loading is any force whose centre of gravity does not act through the longitudinal axis of the actuator. Both side loading and eccentric loading should always be avoided as they can cause binding and shorten the life of the actuator.
