Need a ball bearing to accommodate a combined radial and axial load? This reliable single-row angular contact ball bearing from SKF has raceways that are displaced relative to each other in the direction of the bearing axis. As the contact angle increases, so does the axial load-carrying capacity of the bearing. As it's made from steel, this unit is durable and resists corrosion, so it can be used in demanding environments. Bearings of this type are commonly used for material handling and in the wind energy industry.

• Small size for compact applications
• Smooth running properties for rapid acceleration and deceleration
• Standard design for easy mounting

• Agricultural equipment
• Food manufacturing
• Electric motors
• Machine tools
• Steel milling

Angular contact bearings from SKF are able to support heavy axial loads in one direction as well as moderate radial loads.

Angular contacts bearings are usually installed in pairs and adjusted against each other to provide maximum stability. The two bearings can be arranged back-to-back or face-to-face to accommodate axial loads in both directions, or in tandem to accommodate a greater axial load in one direction only.
