Angular contact ball bearings are a type of rolling-element bearing that can support both radial and axial loads. They are designed to accommodate combined loads, where the axial load is typically greater than the radial load. Angular contact ball bearings are commonly used in applications such as machine tools, pumps, compressors, and automotive transmissions.
Angular contact ball bearings consist of an inner ring, an outer ring, and a set of balls. The balls are retained by a cage or separator. The inner and outer rings have raceways that are ground to a specific angle, typically between 15° and 45°. This angled design allows the bearing to support axial loads.
The contact angle between the balls and the raceways determines the bearing's load capacity and its ability to handle combined loads. A larger contact angle results in a higher axial load capacity but a lower radial load capacity.
There are two main types of angular contact ball bearings:
Angular contact ball bearings are used in a wide range of applications, including:
These stories highlight the importance of following proper mounting procedures, preventing contamination, and avoiding overloading of angular contact ball bearings. By adhering to these guidelines, manufacturers can extend the service life of their bearings, improve reliability, and reduce maintenance costs.
