Angular Contact Ball Bearings are high-performance precision components engineered to sustain combined radial and axial loads simultaneously. Featuring a specialized contact angle between the inner and outer rings—typically ranging from 15° to 40°—these bearings are optimized for high-speed rotation and rigorous industrial applications. The larger the contact angle, the higher the axial load capacity, providing versatile solutions for complex mechanical requirements.
Our product range includes single-row, double-row centripetal thrust structures, and four-point contact ball bearings. To enhance spindle stiffness and manage axial displacement, these bearings are often deployed in duplex arrangements with adjustable internal clearance. Utilizing high-grade materials and advanced cage designs—including steel plate stamped, polyamide formed, and copper alloy cutting cages—we ensure maximum stability and longevity in demanding environments.
