Angular contact thrust ball bearings

The characteristic of angular contact thrust ball bearings is that the inner ring, outer ring, and rolling elements are separated so that they can be processed and heat treated separately, thus improving the service performance and life of the bearing. In addition, angular contact thrust ball bearings also have the advantages of compact structure, small friction coefficient, and high precision. They are often used in high-speed, high-precision, heavy-duty occasions, such as motors, textile machinery, rolling mills, etc.

Structure of angular contact thrust ball bearing

The structures of angular contact thrust ball bearings can be divided into an inner ring, outer ring, and steel ball. The contact angle in the inner and outer rings measures 90 degrees. The nominal contact angle is 0.90. The inner ring is usually sloped inside to accommodate the balls and cage. The outer ring is usually sloped outside to accommodate the balls and cage. The steel balls are evenly distributed in the cage along the direction of rotation of the bearing. This kind of bearing can bear unidirectional axial and small radial loads.

In addition, angular contact thrust ball bearings can be made into non-separable or separable types according to needs. Non-separable bearings cannot be disassembled from the shaft and are suitable for high-speed operating environments. In contrast, separable bearings can be disassembled and are suitable for places where installation and disassembly are frequent.

Classification of angular contact thrust ball bearing

Angular contact thrust ball bearings are mainly divided into the following two categories:

One-way thrust ball bearing: This type of bearing can only support the load in a single direction, often used to support the transmission shaft or sprocket.

Two-way thrust ball bearing: This kind of bearing can bear a two-way load and is often used to support the transmission shaft or sprocket.

Materials for angular contact thrust ball bearing

The angular contact thrust ball-bearing materials include bearing steel, stainless steel, and ceramics.

Bearing steel (GCr15): This is a high-hardness, high-wear-resistant metal material with good fatigue resistance and high strength. It is often used to manufacture high-load and high-speed thrust angular contact ball bearings.

Stainless steel (1Cr18Ni9Ti): This material has good corrosion resistance and high-temperature characteristics and is suitable for food machinery, medical equipment, and other occasions requiring no material pollution.

Ceramic (Si3N4): This material has the advantages of low density, high hardness, and good wear resistance and can be used in applications with high speed, high temperature, high precision, and extreme environments.

In addition, some materials such as graphite and plastics can also be used to manufacture angular contact thrust ball bearings. Still, these materials are mainly used for special occasions or low-load, low-speed bearings. Suitable materials should be comprehensively considered according to the specific use environment and requirements.

Advantages of FV brand angular contact thrust ball bearing

The size of this type of bearing varies. Many standard models are in stock, and the bearing can be shipped quickly within 3-5 days.

At the same time, we can also customize angular contact thrust ball bearing according to customers' requirements and working conditions.
