NTN Angular Contact Bearings feature raceways with high and low shoulders. These opposing raceways are designed to accommodate axial loads in one direction in addition to radial loads. Self-retaining units with solid inner and outer rings and ball and cage assemblies.An angular contact bearing is a type of specialty ball bearing used in many manufacturing and industrial applications. This relatively small device is designed to support a greater range of forces than a standard bearing, and to work within even the most precisely engineered machines and equipment. 

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.Double-row angular contact ball bearings are units with solid inner and outer rings and ball and cage assemblies with polyamide, brass or sheet-steel cages. Their construction is similar to a pair of single-row angular contact ball bearings in an O arrangement, but they are narrower to a certain extent.
