Single row angular contact bearings are widely used in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and machinery. They are designed to withstand both radial and axial loads and provide high-speed performance. In this article, we will discuss the structure and working principle of single row angular contact bearings.

Structure

Single row angular contact bearings consist of four main components: Inner ring, outer ring, rolling elements, and cage. Let's take a closer look at each of these components.

Inner ring: The inner ring is the part of the bearing that fits onto the shaft. It is usually made of steel and has a smooth surface to reduce friction between the bearing and the shaft.

Outer ring: The outer ring is the part of the bearing that fits into the housing. It is also made of steel and has a smooth surface to reduce friction between the bearing and the housing.

Rolling elements: The rolling elements are the balls or rollers that allow the bearing to rotate. They are usually made of steel or ceramic and are designed to withstand high loads and speeds.

Cage: The cage is the part of the bearing that holds the rolling elements in place. It is usually made of steel or plastic and is designed to prevent the rolling elements from rubbing against each other.

Working principle

Single row angular contact bearings are designed to withstand both radial and axial loads. They achieve this by having a contact angle between the raceway and the rolling elements. The contact angle is the angle between the line connecting the centers of the raceway and the rolling element and the line perpendicular to the bearing axis.

When a radial load is applied to the bearing, the rolling elements move along the raceway, causing the inner and outer rings to rotate. When an axial load is applied to the bearing, the contact angle causes the rolling elements to push against the raceway, which in turn pushes against the inner and outer rings.

The contact angle also affects the speed at which the bearing can rotate. A smaller contact angle allows the bearing to rotate at higher speeds, while a larger contact angle provides better axial load capacity.

Wuxi F&T Machinery Co.,Ltd is a manufacturer of single row angular contact bearing, single row angular contact bearings are essential components in many industrial applications. Their unique design allows them to withstand both radial and axial loads and provide high-speed performance. Understanding the structure and working principle of these bearings is crucial for selecting the right bearing for a particular application.
