How do Single-row Angular Contact Ball Bearing work?

Bearings are mechanisms used to reduce the friction between two objects in rotary or linear motion with each other.

In this video we will see the operation of single-row angular contact ball bearings, and in the videos of this playlist you will see all kinds of bearings.

Jaes, leader in the industrial supplies sector for more than 10 years, has become the reference partner for some of the most important engineering companies by providing them with every kind of bearing.

Ball bearings are among the most widely used and well-known.
As we have seen in our previous videos, radial single and double row ball bearings and the self-adjusting ball bearings support radial loads especially well.

However, there are many cases in which there also is a significant axial load; therefore the single row angular contact ball bearings were conceived.

This kind has the tracks of the rings tilted towards the axial direction; thus, the contact angle between the ball and the tracks is inclined; it is thanks to this shape that they can withstand combined loads, simultaneously in the radial and axial direction.
The more the contact angle increases, the more they can support axial loads well.

Single row angular contact ball bearings support axial loads in one direction only, which is why they are very often used in pairs and mounted in front of each other so that together they can support greater radial load and axial loads in both directions.

Thanks to these features, this kind of bearings are used in industrial pumps, electric motors, in the motor industry and in all industrial applications where the shaft is subjected to combined loads.

Do you know why double-row angular contact ball were invented? Find out in the next video.

There are also the oblique ones, which can have one or two rows of spheres,
They can withstand higher radial loads and axial thrusts.
