the a-type angular contact bearing is a single row ball bearing. this bearing can withstand high axial loads for demanding applications. the a-type can also accept radial and combined loads. applications often require these bearings to be used in a duplex paired fashion.
typically the a-type angular contact bearing is provided with a brass cage separator and an abec 1 rating class. options abound with variations available in:
- material type for rings and rolling elements
- material thickness
- bore size
- precision class
- diametral clearance (internal fit)
applications
- antenna mounts
- bottling equipment
- blow out protectors
- converting equipment
- x-ray equipment
- food processing equipment
- gear boxes
- indexing tables
- instrument mounts
- labeling machines
- machine tools/ lathe accessories
- missile launchers
- oil well equipment
