Angular contact ball bearings have raceways in the inner and outer rings that are 

displaced with respect to each other in the direction of the bearing axis. This 

means that they are designed to accommodate combined loads, i.e. simultaneously 

acting radial and axial loads.

 

The axial load carrying capacity of angular contact ball bearings increases with 

increasing contact angle. The contact angle α is defined as the angle between the 

line joining the points of contact of the ball and the raceways in the radial plane, 

along which the load is transmitted from one raceway to another, and a line perpendicular 

to the bearing axis.

 

Angular contact ball bearings are produced in a wide variety of designs and sizes.
