Angular Contact Ball BEARINGS
Angular contact bearings support both radial and axial forces, making them suitable for rotating equipment exposed to loads from different directions. A2Z Machinery Stores supplies different configurations, including single row angular contact bearing and double row angular contact bearing options for varied industrial machinery requirements.
Designed For Combined
Loading Requirements
The internal arrangement of an angular contact ball bearing allows the rolling elements to operate at an angle to the bearing axis. This design enables the bearing to handle radial loading together with axial forces. Selection depends on factors such as load direction, operating conditions, shaft arrangement, and the required bearing configuration.
BEARING CONSTRUCTION: An angular contact bearing consists of inner and outer rings, balls, a cage, and raceways positioned to create a contact angle. This arrangement determines how the bearing responds to radial and axial forces. Depending on the application, designs may include single-row or double row angular contact ball bearing configurations.
Controlled Support For Combined Loads
Our range of angular contact bearings provides options for machinery where radial support and axial load handling need to be considered together.
Inner Race
The inner ring fits on the rotating shaft. Its raceway is shaped to carry both radial and axial loads.
Outer Race
The outer ring has one high and one low shoulder. This sets the contact angle and supports axial load in one direction.
Rolling Balls
Precision balls touch the races along an angled contact line, so they carry combined loads with low friction.
Cage / Retainer
Keeps the balls evenly spaced and guided, which supports stable running at high speed.
