Double row angular contact ball bearing with seals or shields
Double row angular contact ball bearings, with seals or shields, correspond to a pair of single row angular contact ball bearings in a back-to-back arrangement, while requiring less axial space. Depending on the sealing execution, they can operate at high speeds and are more suitable than deep groove ball bearings for supporting large axial forces in both directions.
- High-speed capability
- Accommodate relatively high radial loads, high axial loads in both directions and tilting moments
- Suitable where a stiff bearing arrangement is required
- Require less axial space than equivalent pair of single row angular contact ball bearings
- Integral sealing prolongs bearing service life
How do I choose the right type of bearing for my application?
Start with the load and how it’s applied. You need to know if you’re dealing with radial loads, axial loads, or a mix of both. Then look at speed, operating environment, and space constraints. For example, ball bearings are great for high speed and lighter loads, while roller bearings handle heavier loads but usually at lower speeds. If there’s contamination, moisture, or heat involved, you may need sealed bearings or specific materials. In most cases, the right choice comes down to matching load type, speed, and environment to the bearing design.
What is the difference between deep groove and angular contact ball bearings?
Deep groove ball bearings are the most common type. They’re designed to handle mainly radial loads, but they can also take some axial load in both directions. They’re simple, versatile, and used in everything from motors to conveyors. Angular contact ball bearings are built for combined loads, especially where there’s significant axial force in one direction. They’re often used in pairs and are common in higher precision or higher load applications like pumps and gearboxes. If your load is mostly radial, go deep groove. If axial load matters more, angular contact is usually the better choice.
