1. Bidirectional load capacity: Angular contact ball bearings can bear radial loads and axial loads at the same time. This bidirectional load capacity makes it widely used in the field of industrial machinery, such as machine tool spindles, automobile wheel hubs, motor rotors, etc.

‌2. High-speed operation: Angular contact ball bearings can operate at higher speeds. The larger the contact angle, the higher the axial load capacity, and the smaller the contact angle, the more suitable it is for high-speed rotation.

‌3. Paired installation: 

Since single-row angular contact ball bearings can only bear axial loads in one direction, they are usually installed in pairs, with back-to-back and face-to-face forms. Paired bearings can withstand bidirectional axial loads.

‌4. Preload effect: 

Preload is one of the important factors that determine the performance of angular contact ball bearings. The larger the preload, the higher the radial stiffness and axial stiffness, but the heat generation increases and the limit speed decreases. Excessive preload may cause sticking during high-speed operation.

‌5. Combination use‌: Angular contact ball bearings can be used in combination. Common combinations include back-to-back combination (DB), face-to-face combination (DF) and series combination (DT). Combination use can provide higher rigidity and load capacity, but the maximum speed will be reduced.

‌Application 

Angular contact ball bearings are widely used in high-frequency motors, centrifugal separators, small car front wheels, oil pumps, Roots blowers, air compressors and other equipment.
