Angular Contact Bearings
Angular Contact Bearing Products & Solutions from Weimer
Angular contact bearings are precision rolling-element bearings designed to support combined radial and axial loads simultaneously. Their raceways are offset relative to each other, creating a contact angle that enables the bearing to handle thrust loads while maintaining high rotational accuracy. Commonly used in pairs or matched sets, angular contact bearings provide increased rigidity, load capacity, and performance in demanding applications. Weimer supplies a broad range of angular contact bearings to support high-speed, precision, and heavy-duty industrial equipment across numerous industries.

Choosing the Right Angular Contact Bearing
Selecting the correct angular contact bearing helps maximize performance, extend service life, and prevent premature bearing failure. We can assist with identifying the proper bearing for new equipment and replacement applications.
-
Contact Angle – Determines axial load capacity and speed capability.
-
Load Direction and Magnitude – Consider radial and thrust load requirements, along with single or paired bearing arrangements.
-
Bearing Arrangement – Available in back-to-back, face-to-face, and tandem mounting configurations.
-
Speed Requirements – Bearing design, lubrication, and cage construction affect maximum operating speeds.
-
Preload and Internal Clearance – Proper preload improves rigidity, accuracy, and overall bearing performance.
-
Lubrication Method – Oil or grease lubrication should be selected based on operating conditions and speed.
-
Environmental Conditions – Temperature, contamination, moisture, and washdown requirements can impact bearing selection.
-
Shaft and Housing Fits – Proper mounting tolerances help ensure optimal performance and bearing life.
Types of Angular Contact Bearings We Offer
From standard single-row bearings to precision and specialty designs, Weimer provides angular contact bearing solutions for a wide range of industrial applications.
Single Row Angular Contact Bearings
Designed to support combined radial and axial loads in one direction. Their contact angle allows for higher thrust load capacity and greater speed capability than standard deep groove ball bearings.
Double Row Angular Contact Bearings
Incorporate two rows of rolling elements within a single bearing assembly, providing increased load capacity, rigidity, and the ability to support axial loads in both directions.
Precision Angular Contact Bearings and Matched Pairs
Manufactured to tight dimensional tolerances and often supplied as matched pairs (duplex) for applications requiring exceptional accuracy, rigidity, and high-speed performance, such as machine tool spindles and CNC equipment.
Shielded and Sealed Angular Contact Bearings
Feature integral shields or seals to help retain lubrication and protect against contamination, moisture, and debris, reducing maintenance requirements and extending bearing life.
