Angular contact ball bearings comprise of inner and outer ring raceways that are displaced relative to each other in the direction of the bearing axis. This design allows these bearings to accommodate combined loads, i.e. simultaneously acting radial and axial loads.

The contact ball bearings are unidirectional and bidirectional and are able to withstand mild radial loads and strong thrust, making them highly suited for high-speed applications.

When buying Angular Contact Bearings, consideration of cage material, preloading and clearance is important. The predetermined pre-load or clearance is automatically accomplished when mounted with uniformly paired bearings. In challenging applications such as motors, compressors, and machine tool spindles, Angular Touch Ball Bearings perform well, frequently operating at high speeds and under low lubrication and contaminated conditions.
