Use this angular contact ball bearing from SKF when you need to accommodate heavy loads with precision, for example in high-speed machinery. This type of bearing is designed to handle a combination of radial and axial loads acting simultaneously. The bearing's axial load carrying capacity increases as the contact angle becomes more acute. It's a single row bearing, which means it's able to accept axial loads in one direction only.

• Versatile single-row design is the most widely used type
• Cylindrical bore type enables easy mounting
• Open end type allows for regreasing, which is essential for smooth operation and long service life
• Compensates internally for angular misalignment and accommodates axial shaft expansion, for quiet and cool running

• Gearboxes, electrical motors and clutches
• Materials handling processes
• Wind turbine equipment
• Agricultural machinery

Single-row ball bearings are generally fitted in pairs in order to counteract the axial load. They can be arranged in three ways: back-to-back, face-to-face or in tandem. While tandem arrangements can only accommodate axial loads in one direction, they can handle heavier axial loads.
