Aradial thrust bearing
Bbowl spindle
Cworm wheel
Dfriction clutch
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) bowl spindle. In a disk type centrifugal purifier, the bowl is mounted on the upper end of the bowl spindle. The bowl spindle is the central shaft that the bowl rotates around, allowing the centrifugal force to separate the different components within the fluid being purified. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) The radial thrust bearing supports the rotational forces acting on the bowl, but does not directly support the bowl itself. C) The worm wheel is part of the speed reduction gearing, not the direct mounting of the bowl. D) The friction clutch is used to engage and disengage the bowl, but does not serve as the direct mounting point.
