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 α 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.
SKF angular contact ball bearings are produced in a wide variety of designs and sizes. Those commonly used and included in this catalogue are
– | single row angular contact ball bearings |
– | double row angular contact ball bearings |
– | four-point contact ball bearings |
Single Row Angular Contact Ball Bearings can accommodate axial loads acting in one direction only. Under radial loads a force acting in the axial direction is produced in the bearing, and this force must be counteracted. Consequently the bearing is normally adjusted against a second bearing.
Normally SKF single row angular contact ball bearings have one high and one low shoulder. Some bearings, particularly those of Diameter Series 8 and 9, have an inner ring with two high shoulders as in a deep groove ball bearing. The low shoulder on one or both rings enables a large number of balls to be incorporated in the bearing, thus giving the bearings a relatively high load carrying capacity. They are of non-separable design.
The contact angle α is 40°, designation suffix B, for the most common sizes. For larger bearings contact angles of 25° and 30° are the most common, designation suffixes AC and A respectively.
