Angular Contact Bearings – These bearings are well-suited to rigid, high-speed, high-tolerance applications, and are used in pairs. They are available in 15° to 25° contact angles, with bore diameters ranging from 10 mm to 240 mm. Cages and ceramic materials can be employed to improve temperature tolerance and aberration resistance. These bearings can also support bidirectional axial loads when used in pairs.
Types:
- Single Row Angular Contact Bearings :These can accommodate axial loads in one direction only.
- Double Row Angular Contact Bearings: These can accommodate radial and axial loads in either direction and lilting movements.
- Four Point Contact Bearings: These support axial loads in both directions and have a high load carrying capacity. They can support limited radial load for a given axial load.
Applications:
- Industrial pumps
- Industrial gearboxes
- Renewable energy
- Compressors
- Industrial electric motors & generators
- Trucks, trailers and buses
- Metals
