Angular Contact Ball Bearings are high-precision engineered components designed to simultaneously support radial loads and unidirectional axial loads. By utilizing a specific contact angle between the inner and outer ring raceways, these bearings offer superior rigidity and stability, making them indispensable for high-speed rotation and heavy-duty industrial applications.
Depending on the application requirements, these bearings are available in various contact angles (15°, 25°, 30°, and 40°), where a larger angle increases axial load capacity while a smaller angle optimizes high-speed performance. From standard single-row configurations to advanced four-point contact and duplex arrangements, our range ensures maximum spindle stiffness and operational precision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Choose a larger angle (e.g., 40°) if your primary requirement is high axial load capacity. Opt for a smaller angle (e.g., 15°) for applications requiring higher speeds and lower friction.
A duplex arrangement involves using two bearings together to handle axial loads in both directions and increase the overall stiffness of the machine spindle.
Four-point contact bearings (type QJ) are ideal when you need to support axial loads in both directions while saving space compared to a duplex pair.
For high-precision bearings with contact angles below 30°, polyamide formed cages are recommended. For heavy-duty or higher heat applications, copper alloy cutting cages are preferred.
Yes, angular contact ball bearings are specifically designed to carry both radial and axial loads simultaneously, though they are most efficient when axial loads are present.
Preloading eliminates internal clearance, which increases the rigidity of the shaft and improves the accuracy of the machine tool, though it may slightly increase heat generation.
