Angular Contact Ball Bearing

Angular contact ball bearings are particularly suitable for carrying combined (axial and radial) loads.
Sometimes, they also can carry pure axial load and operate in higher speed. Under radial load and axial component force will be produced with must be counteracted. So the bearings are normally adjusted against a second bearing.
Single row angular contact ball bearings can carry axial load acting in one direction only. In many applications, angular contact ball bearings in pairs or multi-arrangement should be used. That the axial load carry capacity of angular contact ball bearings increase with the increase of contact angle.
