Fafnir angular contact ball bearings are designed for combination radial and axial loading. Single-row bearings have high thrust capacity in one direction. Some single-row bearings are specifically designed for duplex mounting in sets for maximum performance. Double-row Conrad bearings can accommodate thrust in both directions.
The special geometry of angular contact bearing raceways and shoulders creates ball contact angles that support higher axial loads. Different designs offer contact angles ranging from 20° to 40°. Higher angles provide more axial load capacity for longer service life operating under axial and radial loads.
