Angular contact bearings have a wide range of applications where reliability and precision are paramount. Read on to learn more.

What are angular contact bearings?

Angular contact bearings consist of an inner and outer ring raceway with displaced bearings relative to each other in the flow direction and can accommodate combined loads. Essentially, each bearing is self-contained in its own individual case within the bearing.

An example of an angular contact bearing application is in places where you require a bearing to act on an axial and radial load simultaneously.

Where are angular contact bearings used?

Angular contact bearings offer a versatile range of applications and are commonly used in machinery or appliances such as:

• Gearboxes
• Clutches
• Pumps
• Electric motors
• High-speed processing machines and more
  
  

Because of the diverse range of applications that angular contact bearings offer, there are various configurations.

Single-row angular contact bearings

Single-row angular contact bearings are designed to accommodate axial loads in one direction. This bearing configuration is normally adjusted against a second bearing. These bearing's rings consist of an upper and lower shoulder and are non-separable.

Double-row angular contact bearings

Double-row angular contact bearings feature two single-single row configurations back-to-back. They have a range of benefits over a single-row configuration, including:

• Less axial space
• Accommodate axial and radial loads
• Work in both directions
• Accommodate tilting movements
  
  

A double-row angular contact bearing offers rigid control for superior machine and engine performance accuracy.

Four-point angular contact bearings

Four-point angular contact bearings offer optimal performance, providing a wide range of features and benefits, including:

• Accommodation of axial loads in both directions
• Less axial space
• High load carrying capacity
• Separable design
• Optimal oil flow
  
  

These types of four-point bearings also limit inner ring deformation under high clamping forces, meaning more reliability and longevity.
