Hmm, that's an interesting question; I look forward to the replies from the mechanical engineers and wizards. Simplistically, (or even ignorantly!), I would have thought that the force “experienced” by the bearings would be the same.

That is, they would not "know" the difference between lighter weights on a long shaft and heavier weights on a short shaft?

Cheers
