Angular Contact Ball Bearing
Angular contact ball bearings are particularly suitable for
carrying combined (axial and radial) loads. Sometimes, they also
can carry pure axial load and operate in higher speed. Under radial
load, axial component force will be produced which must be
counteracted. So the bearings are normally adjust against a second
bearing.
Since these bearing have a contact angle, they can sustain
significant axial loads in one direction together with radial
loads. Because of their design, when a radial load is applied, an
axial force component is produced; therefore, two opposed bearings
or a combination of more than two must be used.
