Single row angular contact ball bearings are design to accommodate acting axial loads in one direction only. An acting force in axial direction will be produced when the bearing is under radial loads, and this axial acting force must be balanced by a counter force. Due to this, single row angular contact ball bearings are normally fitted or paired against another bearing. The most common contact angle is α 40°, others larger contact angle are available such as 25° and 30°.
