Collection:Angular Contact Ball Bearings

For high precision, speeds and axial loads, which can be found in gearboxes, pumps and machine tool applications, use angular contact ball bearings. The inner and outer ring raceways of these bearings are offset from each other in the direction of their axis. As a result, these bearings are designed to support both radial and axial loads simultaneously. As the contact angle increases, the bearing's axial load carrying capacity increases.

Angular contact ball bearings are available in two versions:

• Single row - these bearings can accommodate axial loads in one direction only. Bearings of this type are usually adjusted against a second bearing. The bearing rings are composed of an upper and a lower ring and cannot be separated.
• Double row - The double row arrangement of angular contact ball bearings is similar to the arrangement of two single row angular contact ball bearings put back-to-back, but requires less axial space. They can accommodate radial loads, axial loads in either direction and tilting moments.
