Angular Contact Ball Bearings are can bear radial load and axial load. Single row Angular Contact Ball Bearings only can bear axial load in one direction. It will lead to an additional axial force when it bear radial load. While the NSK range of angular contact ball bearings has been designed to meet the increasingly demanding requirements of original equipment manufacturers. Furthermore, since an axial component is generated when a radial load is applied,
NSK angular contact ball bearings are generally used in pairs, triplex sets, quadruplex sets, or multiplex sets.
Normally these bearings are used in duplex pairs in order to support axial loads in either direction. They can be supplied paired back-to-back or face-to-face with known preloads or clearances built-in. They can also be supplied paired in tandem to accept exceptionally heavy axial loads in one direction.
The most popular contact angle for industrial bearings is 40 degrees and these can be supplied with different cage materials including steel, brass or polyamide.
