Angular Contact Ball Bearings
Technical Information on Angular Contact Ball Bearings
SKF Angluar Contact Ball Bearings
SKF angular contact ball bearings have race ways in both the inner & outer rings that are displaced in respect to each other in the direction of the bearing axis.
This means SKF angular contact metric ball bearings are designed to accommodate combined loads, i.e. simultaneously acting radial & axial loads.
The axial load carrying capacity of SKF or FAG angular contact ball bearings increases with increasing contact angles.
The contact angle of a angular contact ball bearing is defined as the angle between the line joining the points of contact between the ball bearings & the raceways. In the radial plane, along which the load is transmitted from one raceway to another & a line perpendicular to the bearing axis.
