Designed for high accuracy and excellent high-speed performance. Angular contact ball bearings are designed to carry combined loads: both axial and radial. Angular contact bearings are designed such that a contact angle between the races and the balls is formed when the bearing is in use. The major design characteristic of this type of bearing is that one, or both of the ring races have one shoulder relieved, or higher than the other. In order for these bearings to function properly, they must be assembled with a thrust load. This loading (or preload) creates a line of contact (or contact angle) between the inner race, the ball and the outer race. The preload can be built into the bearing or created when the bearing is inserted into an assembly. The contact angle varies from 15° to 40° and is measured relative to a line running perpendicular to the bearing axis. Angular contact bearings are unidirectional thrust bearings that can withstand heavy thrust loads and moderate radial loads. Important dimensions to consider when searching for angular contact bearings include design units bore, outside diameters, and outer ring width. Design units can be in either inches or metric units. Some manufacturers may specify parts in both. The bearing industry uses a standard number system for bearings with metric diameter bores. For bore sizes 04 and up multiply by 5 to obtain the bore in millimeters. Important operating specifications to consider when searching for angular contact bearings include rated speed, static radial load, and dynamic radial load. The rated speed of a bearing running with grease lubrication is lower than that of a bearing with oil lubrication. The static radial load is the maximum radial load a bearing can endure without excessive permanent deformation. The dynamic radial load is the calculated constant radial load, which a group of identical bearings with stationary outer rings can theoretically endure for a rating life of 1 million revolutions of the inner ring. Manufacturers typically assign an ABEC rating to bearings. ABEC (Annular Bearing Engineers' Committee) ratings classify different accuracy and tolerance ranges for bearings. The higher the ABEC number the tighter the bearing tolerances. Please consult the tables in the search form for Angular Contact Bearings for tolerances and other rating equivalents. Angular contact bearings can have a number of different styles of seals or shielding. Seals and shields provide protection from contamination and serve as a retainer for lubricant. Seals provide better protection and lubricant containment than shields, but have lower maximum speed capabilities. The different types include singledouble seal or singledouble shield. Angular contact bearings may be constructed of special materials including stainless steel, plastic, and ceramic hybrid. They may also be plated; common plating materials are cadmium and chrome. Bearing design for angular contact bearings can be one directional thrust, double directional thrust, double row, double row maximum capacity angular, duplex thrust, and four-pointed contact. Thin-section bearings have small cross-sections with respect to their diameter. Bearings with ball screw support are specially designed for use in ball screw or lead screw applications. Some bearings may also be flanged. Angular contact bearings may have a variety of lubrication options. They can be re-lubricated, pre-lubricated, or have solid lubrication.

They are available in a variety of sizes, and are the most popular of all rolling bearings. This type of bearing supports radial and a certain degree of axial load in both directions simultaneously The shielded or sealed deep groove ball bearings simplify the sealing structure of applications and are designed for use with a rotating inner ring. Greasing will not be necessary as these bearings are pre-lubricated.

Tapered roller bearings consist of an inner ring (cone), an outer ring (cup), a cage and rollers which are profiled to distribute the load evenly. They have high radial and axial (thrust) load capacities at low to intermediate speeds. Tapered roller bearings are available in single-row, two-row and four-row designs. With single-row bearings, the thrust load capacity is about 60% of the radial capacity. Double-row bearings have a greater radial load capacity and can handle thrust loads in both directions. The rollers can be configured in such a way that the contact lines between the roller and the race converge or diverge towards the axis of rotation. Diverging double-row bearings increase the rigidity of the shaft mounting, while converging bearings do not. Other configurations for double-row bearings feature a single outer ring and two inner rings, or two outer rings and a single inner ring. Four-row tapered roller bearings consist of four rows of alternating converging and diverging rollers. Most tapered roller bearings are made of alloy steels or low-carbon steels. Some applications require the use of case-hardened or through-hardened, high-carbon, bearing-quality steel. High-carbon grades of steel do not require carburizing and can be case-hardened by induction heating or through-hardened by conventional heating methods. When low-carbon, carburized grades of steel are used, carbon is introduced after the cylindrical roller bearings are machined to a depth sufficient to produce a hardened case that can sustain bearing loads. The addition of carbon and alloys ensures the proper combination of a hard, fatigue-resistant case and a tough, ductile core. Bore size and outside diameter (OD) are important specifications to consider when selecting tapered roller bearings. The bore size is the bearing's smallest dimension. The outer diameter includes the bearing housing, but excludes the flange. Other important specifications for taper roller bearings include overall width, rated speed (oil), static axial load, static radial load, dynamic axial load and dynamic radial load. Static axial and static radial loads are, respectively, the maximum axial and radial loads that a bearing can withstand without permanent deformation. Dynamic axial load and dynamic radial loads are, respectively, the calculated axial and radial loads under which a group of identical bearings with stationary outer rings can endure for a rating life of 1 million revolutions of the inner ring.

Therefore, spherical roller bearings are suitable for lowmedium speed applications which involve heavy or impact loading. They come with cylindrical or tapered bores and can be supplied with adapter assemblies as well as withdrawal sleeves. These bearings are divided into R, RH(R) and RHA types, which differ in internal structure. Bearings with a tapered bore can be fit and removed easily using an adapter assembly or withdrawal sleeve. Spherical roller bearings are available as double-row, combination radial and thrust bearings. They use a spherical or crowned roller as the rolling element. The race in the outer ring is spherical in shape, which allows for some misalignment of the shaft and the housing. Spherical roller bearings are unequalled in their capacity for high loads and their tolerance to shock loads, but have limited speed capabilities. They perform consistently, even under extreme conditions, such as application-specific stress and marginal lubrication. The cage of a spherical roller bearing provides high dimensional accuracy and functionality. According to some estimates, spherical roller bearings have twice the running life of conventional bearings.
