Differences between angular contact ball bearings and tapered roller bearings

Angular contact ball bearings can withstand both radial and axial loads. And can work at a higher rotating speed. The larger the contact angle is, the higher the axial bearing capacity is. A contact angle of 15 degree is generally taken for high precision and high speed bearings. Under the axial force, the contact angle will increase.

Tapered roller bearings are separate bearings, bearings, the outer ring with a tapered raceway. According to the number of rows of rollers installed, this kind of bearing can be divided into single-row, double-row and four-row tapered roller bearings with different structural types. Single-row tapered roller bearings can withstand radial load and unidirectional axial load. When the radial load bearing, there will be a component of the axial force, so when the need to bear another axial force in the opposite direction of the bearing to be balanced.

Tapered roller bearings and angular contact bearings compared to different rollers, a sphere (point contact), a roller (line contact), of course, is a line of contact to bear the load, strong rigidity. Angular contact is mainly subjected to axial load; Tapered roller bearings bear axial and radial loads and transmit unidirectional axial loads. Angular contact bearings as applied to the pressure small, high speed parts, such as water pumps, vertical washing, etc. Tapered roller bearings used in the same, relatively low speed, high pressure parts, such as automotive spindle and so on.
