The structure of angular contact ball bearings produces an axial component when a radial or combined load is applied; therefore, two opposed bearings or a multi-bearing arrangement are used.
A preload is often used to increase the rigidity of single-row angular contact ball bearings, particularly in the main spindles of machine tools where h... View More

A back-to-back paired mounting of single-row angular contact ball bearings is turned into a bearing with a single inner ring and outer ring.
Double-row angular contact ball bearings are often used as fixed-end bearings as they can sustain axial loads in both directions and have the capacity to take moment loads.

Four-point-contact ball bearings feature an inner ring split into two pieces. Just one of these bearings can sustain significant axial loads in both directions.
A contact angle of 35° allows for high axial load capacity. This type is suited for carrying pure axial loads or combined loads where the axial load is high.
These bearings featu... View More
