Angular Contact Ball Bearing
Angular Contact Ball Bearing
Angular contact ball bearings are designed to handle both radial and axial loads, with a unique construction that allows for high-speed operations and increased precision. The inner and outer raceways are positioned at an angle to the bearing axis, enabling them to support combined loads more effectively than standard deep groove ball bearings. These bearings are ideal for applications where high-performance and high-precision are required, such as in machine tool spindles, turbines, and other high-speed machinery.
Features & Benefits
- High Load Capacity: Angular contact ball bearings can handle radial and axial loads simultaneously, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications.
- Precision & Accuracy: The angular contact design ensures better alignment and higher precision under high-speed conditions.
- Variety of Configurations: Available in different contact angles, such as 15°, 30°, and 40°, to suit various load requirements and operating conditions.
- Durability & Reliability: Manufactured from high-quality materials to provide long service life and reduced maintenance.
- Minimal Friction: Optimized design reduces friction, enabling smoother operation and increased energy efficiency.
Advantages Over Other Bearings
Compared to standard deep groove ball bearings, angular contact ball bearings are more efficient in handling axial loads due to their optimized contact angles. This makes them a superior choice for high-precision, high-load applications that demand both radial and axial load support, such as aerospace systems, automotive transmissions, and high-speed industrial machines.
Applications
Angular contact ball bearings are widely used in various industries, including:
- Machine Tools: High-speed spindle bearings, CNC machines.
- Aerospace: Engine components, aircraft landing gear.
- Automotive: Transmissions, wheel hubs, and gearboxes.
- Precision Instruments: Laboratory equipment, measuring devices.
- Electric Motors: High-performance motors in robotics, fans, and pumps.
Product Variants
- Single Row Angular Contact Bearings: Ideal for handling combined loads in a single direction. Commonly used in high-speed applications.
- Double Row Angular Contact Bearings: Capable of carrying higher radial and axial loads simultaneously in both directions, suitable for heavy-duty machinery.
- Four-Point Contact Bearings: Allow for larger axial load capacities and are designed to accommodate the combined radial and axial loads with a larger contact angle.
