Angular contact bearings are constructed such that their races and the bearings balls contact points are at some angle relative to the axis of the operating axis of the bearing.Standard operating angles are 15,30,and 40 degrees. Angular bearings are available in standard imperial(inch) and metric(mm) sizes.
Angular contact bearings are assembled with a preload,which is applied between the inner race,the bearing ball and the outer race.The preload minimizes or removes gaps between the bearing balls and the inner and outer races. Angular contact bearings may operate with heavy thrust loads and moderate radical loads. Angular contact ball bearings are a classifiction as single row, radial ball bearings.
Angular contact ball bearings have raceways in the inner and outer rings that are displaced with respect to each other in the direction of the bearing axis. This means that they are designed to accommodate combined loads, i.e. simultaneously acting radial and axial loads.
The axial load carrying capacity of angular contact ball bearings increases with increasing contact angle. The contact angle is defined as the angle between the line joining the points of contact of the ball and the raceways in the radial plane, along which the load is transmitted from one raceway to another, and a line perpendicular to the bearing axis.
