Angular Ball

IBSCO offers angular contact bearings manufactured to close tolerances making them appropriate for high-performance applications in the aerospace, medical device and other industries. Angular contact ball bearings are one of the most common types of ball bearings and are designed for a combination of radial and axial loading. With their unique design, angular contact bearings minimize wear and friction and are suitable for combined loads as they absorb force in both radial and axial directions. In other words, these bearings specifically have a contact angle that allows for sustaining significant axial loads in one direction together with radial loads. Generally the larger the contact angle, the higher the axial load the bearing can support, but the lower the radial load. Due to their design, these bearings are often used in pairs or sets of two, three, four or more.
