Axial loads

I recently bought a shload of 608ZZ bearings for a project that's gotten postponed because I now have the milling machine. One of the projects Charlene and I have been talking about is a lift for a piece at the head of the bed that'd serve as a retractable bookshelf/whatnot. Today, VXB.com sent me a "get a free set of digital calipers with an order of $20 or more, so I went and browsed through their thrust bearings and decided that a set of $8 calipers wasn't worth speindg $30 on those bearings pre-emptively, but it did get me searching around, and apparently my Google-fu is lacking.
Anyone got an idea on how I'd figure a reasonable working axial load for a 608ZZ bearing?

What!?! no pneumatic air-rams with a biofeedback controlled oscillation mode?
Worth knowing: At the industrial hardware nuts and bolts places, you can by threaded rod in various grades besides the floppy coat hanger grade steel the common hardware store carry.

I've got a hundred of the puppies, I guess it's just to get some 5/16" threaded rod and build a stand.
I was thinking of implementing the lift with 4 threaded rods driven with a cogged belt or a chain (bike or motorcycle), probably using a drill for the motor (cheap, relatively high torque, with speed control and reverse built in). But by the time I get there I'll probably just spring for the thirty bucks for some good thrust bearings.

Buy one. Progressively load it until it binds.. and more until it breaks.
the spec says 'deep groove' but it's a shallow small high speed bearing, it's not made for high loads.
Nancy would love it if I finished making the headboard for our bed.. we'll have to compare notes. I was looking at using a modified 19" rack slide...
