Need a reliable bearing to support a high axial load combined with a radial load? Choose this angular-contact ball bearing from SKF. It has a contact angle of 40°, giving it a high loading capacity of 9.3kN (static) or 14.8kN (dynamic). The balls are spaced with a cage made from nylon 66 that's reinforced with fibreglass for added toughness. As an open-type bearing, this unit is easy to lubricate and can tolerate relatively high speeds.

• Parallel bore means it can be mounted directly onto a shaft without the need for an adapter sleeve
• Steel construction material combines strength with corrosion resistance

• Machine tools
• Steel mills
• Wind energy equipment
• Gearboxes

No, this bearing can only accept axial loads in one direction, so it must be mounted against a second, conventional bearing.

Angular contact ball bearings have inner and outer ring raceways that are displaced relative to each other. The axial-load capacity of the bearing increases as the contact angle increases.
