Single Row Open Angular Contact Ball Bearing

Single-row angular contact ball bearings can only bear axial loads in one direction. When bearing radial loads, additional axial forces will be caused, and the corresponding reverse load must be applied. Therefore, this type of bearing is generally used in pairs.
Angular contact ball bearings can bear radial and axial loads at the same time because the raceways of the inner and outer rings can have relative displacement on the horizontal axis (single-row angular contact ball bearings can only bear axial loads in one direction, so they are usually installed in pairs). The materials of the cage include brass, synthetic resin, etc., which are distinguished according to the bearing form and use conditions.
Angular contact ball bearings can bear radial and axial loads at the same time. They can work at higher speeds. The larger the contact angle, the higher the axial load capacity. The contact angle is the angle between the line connecting the contact points of the ball and the raceway in the radial plane and the perpendicular line to the bearing axis. High-precision and high-speed bearings usually take a contact angle of 15 degrees. Under the action of axial force, the contact angle will increase.
