The Difference between Angle Contact Ball Bearings and Conical Roller Bearings

Angle contact ball bearings can withstand both radial and axial loads. Can operate at higher speeds. The larger the contact angle, the higher the axial carrying capacity. High-precision and high-speed bearings usually take a 15-degree contact angle. Under axial force, the contact angle increases.

The conical roller bearings belong to the separation bearings, and the inner and outer rings of the bearings have tapered raceways. These bearings are divided into different structural types, such as single-column, double-row and four-row conical roller bearings, according to the number of rollers installed. Single-row conical roller bearings can withstand radial and one-way axial loads. When the bearing is subjected to radial load, an axial force is generated, so when another bearing that can withstand the axial force in the opposite direction is required to balance it.

On the conical roller bearings and angular contact bearings, the rollers are different, one is the sphere (point contact), one is the roller (line contact), of course, the line contact to withstand the load is large, rigid. Angle contact mainly withstands axial loads, and conical roller bearings carry axial and radial loads to transmit one-way axial loads. Angle contact bearings are generally used in areas with low pressure and high speed, such as water pumps. Standing wash, etc. Conical roller bearings are generally used in areas with relatively low speed and high pressure, such as automotive spindles.
