Angular contact ball bearings
Angular contact bearing have inner and outer ring raceways that are displaced relative to each other in the direction of the bearing axis.
This means that these bearings are designed to accommodate combined loads, i.e. simultaneously acting radial and axial loads.
The axial load carrying capacity of angular contact ball bearings increases as the contact angle increases.
The contact angle is defined as the angle between the line joining the points of contact of the ball and the raceways in the radial plane, along which the combined load is transmitted from one raceway to another, angular contact bearing and a line perpendicular to the bearing axis.

- Matching the versatility of many different applications, they are available in a wide range of designs, variants and sizes.
- The following are examples of applications where deep groove ball bearings may be used.
FAQ
Loads are defined by their direction. Loads perpendicular to the shaft are called radial loads and loads parallel to the shaft are called axial (thrust) loads.
DGBB can carry axial loads in both directions, whereas angular contact ball bearings can only carry axial loads in one direction.
Seals and shields provide additional protection for the bearing components and help to improve and maintain lubrication. In terms of sealing performance, sealed bearings rank best, followed by shielded bearings and finally open bearings.
Deep groove ball bearings are available in a large number of sizes with different seals, shields, cages, and greases.
Successful mounting is critical to the life cycle of your bearing. Proper bearing dismounting can safeguard other machine components and maintenance workers.
The bearing is at the heart of all rotating equipment, and the condition of the bearing often reflects how well a machine is running. Learn more about bearing damage and bearing failure – and how to prevent it.
