Need to support a load at an angle to the bearing axis? This angular contact bearing from SKF is designed to support both radial and axial loads. It comes with an inner raceway of 120 mm and an outer ring raceway of 260 mm, which are displaced relative to each other in the direction of the bearing axis. This allows it to handle forces acting simultaneously. By increasing the contact angle, you can also increase the bearing's axial load carrying capacity.

• Single-row design allows versatile use and offers a long service life
• Cylindrical bore type is easy to fit
• Open end type allows regreasing
• Angular contact bearings compensate internally for angular misalignment and accommodate axial shaft expansion, which makes for quiet, cool running

• High-speed applications, for example wind turbines
• Gearboxes and electric motors, particularly in cars
• Machine handling processes

Yes, a spindle bearing is another name for an angular contact bearing. They're also sometimes called taper roller bearings.

Yes. As the balls are constantly in contact with the rings, they have a much higher speed rating than other types of ball bearing.
