Angular contact ball bearings have inner and outer ring raceways that are displaced relative to each other in the direction of the bearing axis. This means that these bearings are designed to accommodate combined loads, i.e. simultaneously acting radial and axial loads.

Angular Contact Ball Bearings are designed with offset raceways between the inner and outer rings which creates a specific contact angle under load. Due to this configuration, these bearings are well suited to carry combined axial and radial loading.Angular Contact Ball Bearings. Angular contact bearings from Grainger can support combined loads simultaneously in radial and axial directions. Use them for high-speed, high-precision applications, such as turbines and dentistry equipment, where dual-direction loads are present.
