Angular contact bearings are designed for applications where axial loads are applied to the bearing in addition to radial loads. In this type of bearing, the contact angle between the balls and the inner and outer raceways allows these loads to be effectively supported. This angle usually varies between 15 and 40 degrees, depending on the bearing design.
One of the important features of these bearings is their ability to operate at high speeds and high rotational accuracy. For this reason, they are widely used in equipment and machinery that require precise and stable operation.
