Ball bearings with several rows of balls for high loads and torques.
Angular contact ball bearings are a type of rolling bearing that are mainly used in applications that have to absorb axial and radial forces. They consist of inner and outer rings, balls and a cage that separates the balls from each other and maintains an even distribution.
The angular contact ball bearing is designed to provide high axial load capacity and moderate radial load capacity. It can support both axial and radial loads in a given direction and is capable of operating at high speeds. Angular contact ball bearings are available in many different sizes and designs, from small bearings for household appliances to large bearings for heavy machinery and industrial applications.
The types of angular contact ball bearings include:
- Single row angular contact ball bearings: consist of an inner and outer ring and a set of balls positioned between the rings.
- Double row angular contact ball bearings: consist of two rows of balls positioned between the inner and outer rings and can support increased radial and axial loads.
- Four-point contact bearings: specially developed angular contact ball bearings that can support axial and radial loads as well as moment loads.
Angular contact ball bearings are used in a wide range of applications, including the automotive, aerospace, agricultural, electrical and mechanical engineering industries. They are an essential component of machines and systems that require high precision, high load capacity and high speeds.
