The rolling races of the inner and outer rings of angular contact ball bearings are axially displaced with respect to each other. Therefore, these bearings are highly suitable for carrying combined loads, meaning radial and axial loads acting simultaneously.

A single row angular contact ball bearing can only accommodate axial loads in one direction. When a radial load is applied, an axial force is generated within the bearing, which requires a counterforce for balance. For this reason, the bearing is typically supported against another bearing. |
