Angular contact ball bearing

Angular contact ball bearings are versatile components that are able to support radial and axial loads in one direction. There are four common contact angles: 15°, 25°, 30°and 40°, although other contact angles are also possible for special applications. The rule of thumb here is: the larger the contact angle, the higher the possible axial load capacity. Smaller contact angles are generally more advantageous for high-speed applications.

Normally, angular contact ball bearings are configured as pairs of two bearings, whereby the clearance must be set accordingly. Sheet steel and plastic cages are the most common cage types in angular contact ball bearings. However, for high-precision bearings with a contact angle of less than 30°, cages made of hard fabric or plastic are often used.
Double-row angular contact ball bearings consist of two single-row radial and angular contact ball bearings, which are arranged in an O-arrangement and have a one-piece inner and outer ring. Angular contact ball bearings of this design can support axial loads in both directions.

In addition, angular contact ball bearings can be fitted with seals or cover plates to extend their range of applications.

NSK angular contact ball bearings - quality that pays off!

Our range of angular contact ball bearings has been specially adapted to the constantly growing requirements of original equipment manufacturers. Thanks to their contact angle, angular contact ball bearings can support both radial loads and considerable axial loads in one direction.

As radial loads often also cause axial load components, these bearings are generally used in pairs or in sets of 3, 4 or more bearings that balance each other out.

NSK offers one of the most comprehensive portfolios of angular contact ball bearings on the market.
