Angular Contact Bearings

An angular contact bearing is a type of rolling-element bearing designed to handle both radial and axial loads simultaneously.

Unlike traditional ball bearings, which can primarily support radial loads, angular contact bearings feature an inner and outer ring with raceways that are displaced relative to each other in the direction of the bearing axis.

This unique construction allows them to accommodate high axial loads in one direction in addition to radial loads, making them ideal for applications requiring high precision and reliability. Commonly used in machinery such as pumps, gearboxes, and automotive applications like wheel hubs and transmissions, angular contact bearings are essential for systems where components must rotate at high speeds while enduring significant thrust loads.
