Q: What is a rolling contact bearing?

◆ Radial bearing

Radial bearings are mainly used for rolling bearings that bear radial loads, with a nominal contact angle from 0 ° to 45 °. According to the different contact angles, they are divided into:

● Radial contact bearings: radial bearings with a nominal contact angle of 0 °;

● Angular contact radial bearings: Radial bearings with a nominal contact angle greater than 0 ° to 45 °.

◆Thrust bearing

Thrust bearings are mainly used for rolling bearings that bear axial loads. Their nominal contact angle is greater than 45 ° to 90 °. According to the different contact angles, they are divided into:

● Axial contact bearings: Thrust bearings with a nominal contact angle of 90 °;

● Angular contact thrust bearings: Thrust bearings with a nominal contact angle greater than 4 ° 5 but less than 90 °.
