Features

Angular contact ball bearings have raceways in the inner and outer rings that are displaced with respect to each other in the direction of the bearing axis. This means that they are designed to accommodate combined loads, i.e. simultaneously acting radial and axial loads. The axial load carrying capacity of angular contact ball bearings increases with increasing contact angle. However, in any case minimal loads are necessary to perform properly. The contact angle α is defined as the angle between the line joining the points of contact of the ball and the raceways in the radial plane, along which the load is transmitted from one raceway to another, and a line perpendicular to the bearing axis.

Single row angular contact ball bearings can accommodate axial loads acting in one direction only. The bearings are non-separable and the bearing rings have one high and one low shoulder. The low shoulder enables a large number of balls to be incorporated in the bearing, giving it a relatively high load carrying capacity.

• It is resistant to high axial loads with special pressure angles.
• Alternative cage materials can meet all application requirements.
• Able to accommodate both radial and thrust loads
• Suitable for high speed operation
• Open and sealed versions available
• Highly rigid
