Angular Contact ball Bearing for Better Performance and Load Capacity

Angular Contact Ball Bearing

There are different kinds of bearings available for different purposes. One of the kinds is spherical plain bearing, which comes with several features and characteristics. These bearings come in sizes and they include metric and inches.

The spherical bearings are of high quality and they could be used in vehicles (high-way vehicles such as trucks and tankers), equipment that work on high power and have good load capacity such as agricultural equipment and mining and construction equipment. The spherical bearings could also be used in industries such as manufacturing, textile, and industrial units.

Angular contact ball bearings

There is another type of bearing called as the angular contact ball bearing. This kind of bearing combines cast-iron, ball bearing and seal. The spherical internal surface of housing enables it to self-alignment, which helps as the fitting would be adjusted automatically. The sizes come in mm and inches and the type used depends upon the equipment that is being used.

Now, there are different designs available for angular ball bearings too. The double row angular bearings have two balls on either side, which helps for a smooth ride. It takes up less axial space and helps in balance while tilting. It, too, can accommodate radial and axial loads. Single row angular ball bearing, is strong and therefore, can accommodate high loads. With this kind of ball bearing, it is possible to change between speeds i.e., accelerate and deaccelerate without worry.

Four-point contact bearing (ball) can support axial load. They have bearings that can be separated from the cage assembly. The important feature is that it helps in ease of lubrication since there is good way of oil flowing between parts.

Depending upon the warranty and the type of bearings that is used, these have after sales warranty. Some need regular maintenance while some can run without regular maintenance with regular check on the working.

The types of Angular Contact bearing include:

Sigle Row: These are resistant to wear and tear and are available with steel and steel, steel and bronze, steel on composite material and fabric.

Double row: Double-row ball bearings enables the equipment to run at high speed with low friction but with cooler temperatures.

Multiple row: These are used in equipment or things that have a very large amount of misalignment. It can take high capacity and has lowest amount of friction.

When it comes to angular contact ball bearings, it has a bigger and higher use. The main features are that it has an inner and outer ring. These face the bearing axis. This helps in taking up combined loads, both axial and radial loads.
