Angular contact ball bearings have inner and outer ring raceways that are displaced relative to each other in the direction of the bearing axis. This means that these bearings 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 as the contact angle increases. The contact angle 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 combined load is transmitted from one raceway to another, and a line perpendicular to the bearing axis.

Size Range

Single-row: 10 mm – 150 mm (0.3937 in. – 5.9055 in.) bore

Double-row: 12 mm – 150 mm (0.4724 in. – 5.9055 in.) bore

Design Attributes

Specific geometry of angular contact bearing raceways and shoulders creates ball contact angles that support higher axial loads.

Expanded options include special lubricants, cage materials, preloads and coatings for additional corrosion resistance.
