Angular Contact Ball Bearings — Industrial Supplier

Angular contact ball bearings have raceways offset at a specific contact angle, enabling them to carry significant axial loads alongside radial loads. Deep groove ball bearings handle primarily radial loads with only moderate axial capacity. Angular contact bearings are preferred where thrust loads or high-speed precision performance is critical.

Common contact angles are 15°, 25°, and 40°. A smaller contact angle (e.g., 15°) suits higher-speed, lower-thrust applications, while a larger angle (e.g., 40°) accommodates heavier axial loads. ESG's technical team can help you select the optimal contact angle based on your application's load and speed requirements.

Yes. One of the key advantages of angular contact ball bearings is their ability to support combined radial and axial loads. The internal geometry — specifically the contact angle — determines the proportion of axial load capacity. Paired or duplex arrangements can further increase axial load-carrying capability in demanding industrial applications.

Angular contact ball bearings are extensively used in oil and gas (pumps, compressors, drilling rigs), power generation (turbines, generators), mining (crushers, conveyors), and construction equipment. ESG International Suppliers serves all these sectors across North and South America with bearings sourced from industry-leading manufacturers.
