Angular contact bearings are able to support radial load and axial load. As single row angular contact ball bearings can only support axial load in single direction, matched bearing mounting is often adopted to them as matched parts of bearings, preload for them is more convenient. Retainers are made of brass, synthetic resins or others subject according to individual bearing features and application conditions.

Angular contact ball bearings features :  
1) Load capacities are higher than deep groove ball bearings of same dimensions

2) Used for bearing radial-axial combined loads or pure thrust loads

3) Low operating friction and high limiting speed

Angular contact bearing applications :  
electric motors, automotive applications, home appliances, industrial equipment.

3augular contact ball bearing with high speed and high precision rotation and is capable of withstanding resultant load

This kind of augular contact ball bearing can be used to take radial and axial loading. Because the single row angular contact ball bearing only can take axial loading in single direction, matched bearings are often adopted. When used in pairs of bearings, it is convenient to adjust them. The material that to make into the retainer are brass, synthetic resins and so on, they are divided based on the bearing features and use environment.
