Angular contact ball bearing
Standard Type

Angular contact ball bearings are a type of rolling element bearing that can support both radial and axial loads. They have inner and outer ring raceways that are displaced relative to each other in the direction of the bearing axis, which gives them their characteristic contact angle. The contact angle determines the bearing’s axial load capacity, with larger contact angles providing higher axial load capacity.

Angular contact ball bearings are typically used in applications where combined radial and axial loads are present, such as gearboxes, pumps, electric motors, and clutches. They are also commonly used in high-speed applications due to their good running properties.
