Single row Angular Contact Ball Bearings are known for their performance and high accuracy. This type of bearings can carry a high axial and radial load but because of the design limitations and single row structure, single row Angular Contact Ball Bearings can only operate in one direction. On the other hand, double row Angular Contact Ball Bearings do not have this design limitation ant they can work in both directions. Four point Angular Contact Ball Bearings are made at 35 degree angle that dramatically increases their axial load capacity.
In this type of Angular Contact Ball Bearings, the inner ring is divided in two parts and this type of bearing also come with options like special lubrication, seals and shields to work in extreme environments. The most common material used in Angular Contact Ball Bearings is stainless steel while the cages are made of brass and steel.
