Description

Angular Contact Ball Bearings have one shoulder removed to allow for a greater compliment of balls than standard Deep Groove Ball Bearings
Angular contact ball bearings are designed with offset raceways between the inner and outer rings which creates a specific contact angle under load. Due to this configuration, these bearings are well suited to carry combined axial and radial loading. Single row bearings can carry axial loading in only one direction and are almost always sold in pairs or adjusted against another bearing.
Furthermore, since an axial component is generated when a radial load is applied, these bearings are generally used in pairs, triplex sets, quadruplex sets, or multiplex sets. NSK offers one of the most comprehensive ranges of angular contact ball bearings available.
