Single row angular contact ball bearings are a common type of angular contact ball bearings. Angular contact ball bearings have raceways in the inner and outer rings that are displaced relative to each other in the direction of the bearing axis. Single row angular contact ball bearings can accommodate axial loads in one direction only. This type of bearing is particularly suitable for carrying combined loads (radial and axial load) as well as pure axial loads and can be operated at relatively high speeds.

Features of Single row angular contact ball bearings

• High load carrying capacity: The lower shoulder enables a large number of balls to be incorporated in the bearing, giving it a relatively high load carrying capacity.
• Good running properties: Rapid accelerations and decelerations are possible.
• Easy mounting of universally matchable bearings: No adjustment is needed for correct internal clearance or preload.

Applications of Single row angular contact ball bearings

Single row angular contact ball bearings are mainly used in machine spindle, gearbox, reducer, and supercharger, etc. Here are examples of applications in which single row angular contact ball bearings might be used:​

• Industrial pumps
• Compressors
• Material Handling
• Electric motors
