Shop Angular Contact Ball Bearings
Shop angular contact ball bearings at BMG for machinery, pumps, compressors, gearboxes and industrial assemblies where radial and axial load support must be considered together. Compare NSK and BTC options by bearing type, bore size, contact angle, arrangement and application requirement.
Category Focus
Angular contact ball bearings are designed so the contact angle helps them carry axial load in addition to radial load, depending on the design and arrangement.
Start with load direction
Confirm whether the application needs radial support, axial support in one direction, axial support in both directions, or a matched bearing arrangement.
Choose Angular Contact Ball Bearings for Combined Loads
Angular contact ball bearings are used where bearing selection must account for radial load and axial load direction. BMG’s angular contact ball bearings range helps buyers compare NSK and BTC options for industrial machinery, pump, compressor, gearbox and rotating equipment applications.
Single-Row Angular Contact Bearings
Commonly selected where the bearing needs to support radial load and axial load in one direction, depending on the arrangement.
Matched and Paired Arrangements
Consider paired or opposed arrangements where axial loads, rigidity or internal clearance requirements need to be managed more carefully.
Double-Row and Four-Point Options
Review double-row or four-point contact formats where the application requires compact support for axial loads or more complex load conditions.
What to Compare Before You Buy
The correct angular contact ball bearing depends on the load direction, contact angle, arrangement, shaft size and operating speed. Start with the application load profile, then narrow the selection by dimensions and bearing configuration.
- Confirm the bearing type: single-row, double-row, four-point contact or matched arrangement.
- Check bore size, outside diameter, width and bearing designation.
- Review whether axial load is in one direction or both directions.
- Compare contact angle, internal clearance, precision and preload requirements where shown.
- Check speed, lubrication, sealing and contamination exposure in the application.

Common Uses for Angular Contact Ball Bearings
Angular contact ball bearings are commonly used in pumps, compressors, machine tools, gearboxes, electric motors, screw chillers, elevator hoists and other rotating equipment where radial and axial loads must be considered together.
For replacement work, match the original bearing number, dimensions, suffixes and arrangement carefully. For new applications, compare load direction, contact angle, speed, rigidity, lubrication and mounting conditions before final selection.
Angular Contact Ball Bearings FAQs
What are angular contact ball bearings used for?
Angular contact ball bearings are used where rotating equipment must support radial load and axial load, depending on bearing design and arrangement.
Can I buy angular contact ball bearings online from BMG?
Yes. Use the BMG angular contact ball bearings listing to browse available products, compare options and move through the online buying process.
Which brands are included on this page?
This page is structured around NSK and BTC angular contact ball bearing options available through BMG’s online range.
What should I check before choosing an angular contact ball bearing?
Check the bearing designation, bore size, outside diameter, width, contact angle, load direction, speed, arrangement, clearance and operating environment.
Do angular contact ball bearings take axial load in both directions?
A single-row angular contact ball bearing generally supports axial load in one direction. For axial load in both directions, paired, double-row or four-point contact arrangements may be required.
What is the difference between deep groove and angular contact ball bearings?
Deep groove ball bearings are commonly used for general radial support, while angular contact ball bearings are selected when axial load direction and combined-load support are more important.
