Angular Contact Ball Bearings

About the product

The structure of Angular Contact Ball Bearings is designed in such a way that an axial component is generated when a radial or combined load is applied. To balance this, two opposed bearings or a multi-bearing arrangement are typically used. Additionally, a preload is often applied to enhance the rigidity of Single-Row Angular Contact Ball Bearings, making them highly suitable for main spindles of machine tools, where superior running accuracy is essential.

Key Features

1. Support for both Radial and Axial Loads

Single-row angular contact ball bearings (ACBBs) are capable of handling radial loads as well as axial loads in one direction. Commonly, they are manufactured with contact angles of 30° or 40° to meet different application needs.

2. Variety of Contact Angles

• Larger contact angles: Provide greater capacity for axial load handling.
• Smaller contact angles: Better suited for high-speed rotationand applications requiring efficiency.

3. Flexible Bearing Arrangements

For adjusting internal clearance and increasing operational stability, two opposed bearings are often used together. This arrangement also enhances the lifespan of the bearing under heavy-duty operations.

4. Advanced Cage Designs

• Pressed Steel Cages: Commonly used in standard applications for their durability and strength.
• Polyamide Resin Cages: Preferred in high-precision bearingswith contact angles under 30°, offering reduced friction and better performance at high speeds.

Applications

1. High Rigidity Applications

Angular Contact Ball Bearings are ideal for applications requiring rigidity and stability, ensuring maximum performance even under heavy loads.

2. Pumps & Compressors

Widely used in pumps and compressors, these bearings enhance operational efficiency by minimizing friction and heat generation.

3. Screw Chillers

Their ability to support both axial and radial loads makes them suitable for screw chillers, contributing to consistent cooling performance.

4. Elevator Hoists

In elevator hoists, angular contact ball bearings provide the necessary load-bearing capacity and reliability for safe, smooth operation.
