Angular contact ball bearings feature a contact angle that sustains significant axial loads in one direction, while also sustaining radial loads. Since an axial component is generated when radial load is applied, these bearings are typically used in pairs or multi-bearing sets.

A flange bearing is a housed bearing assembly in which the outer housing carries a machined flange plate drilled with mounting holes. The flange plate allows the unit to be bolted directly onto a mac...

View MoreJiangsu Yinghong Transmission Technology Co., Ltd. is a Bearing Steel Angular Contact Ball Bearings manufacturer and China-based precision bearing supplier under the registered YHU brand. We specialize in high-precision bearing steel, stainless steel, ceramic, and plastic bearings, and we produce angular contact bearings as part of our OEM/ODM capability.
Angular contact ball bearings feature a contact angle that carries significant axial load in one direction while also supporting radial load. Because radial load creates an axial component, these bearings are normally mounted in pairs or multi-bearing sets. Our engineering team applies that principle to the complete bearing arrangement, not just the bearing alone.
This product family uses hardened high-carbon chromium bearing steel for the rings and balls. Raceways are ground and superfinished on automated production lines to give the low friction, low vibration, and dimensional consistency required in high-speed rotating assemblies. We supply open versions for oil-lubricated spindles and shielded or sealed versions for grease-lubricated mechanisms.
For systems with a separate locating bearing or where axial load comes mainly from one direction.
Back-to-back, face-to-face, and tandem arrangements for precise spindle control and higher stiffness.
Modified bores, widths, contact angles, preload, cage materials, and matched sets built from drawings or samples.
Bearing steel angular contact ball bearings are selected where radial and axial loads act together and where shaft positioning must be maintained under varying loads.
Contact angle selection should be made together with preload, cage, and lubrication. A 15° angle suits speed-critical spindles, 25° to 30° covers general industrial drives, and 40° is used where one-direction axial capacity dominates. Our proposal states the contact angle, arrangement, preload, and tolerance class together because they interact.
| Arrangement | Characteristics | Typical Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Single row | Carries axial load in one direction; requires a locating bearing elsewhere in the system | Pumps, gear reducers, conveyors, electric motors |
| Paired DB back-to-back | High radial, axial, and moment stiffness | Machine tool spindles, precision gearboxes, robotics |
| Paired DF face-to-face | More tolerance to misalignment with lower stiffness | Compressors, blowers, general machinery |
| Paired DT tandem | Increased axial capacity in a single direction | Lead-screw supports, thrust-sensitive drives |
| Triplet or quad set | Defined preload and consistent spindle stiffness | Grinding spindles, high-speed machining centers, aerospace actuators |
Yinghong holds IATF 16949, RoHS, CE, and SGS certification, with a complete quality management system covering raw material warehousing, process control, and finished delivery. High-precision testing equipment is used throughout production to maintain consistent geometry and running quality.
For qualified projects, independent SGS test reports can be included as part of the compliance evidence. We also support OEM/ODM customization and full-process service from solution design and prototype production to mass delivery and after-sales technical support.
We treat each angular contact bearing as part of a rotating assembly rather than an isolated component. This is why we review the mounting structure, lubrication method, and operating duty before selecting contact angle and preload. Custom work can include modified bore or housing dimensions, special widths, alternative cage materials, non-standard contact angles, matched sets, and custom grease specifications.

Information We Use to Configure Your Solution
Yes, but a radial load generates an axial component, so the bearing must be paired with another bearing or arranged in a set unless the machine design provides a separate locating bearing. We confirm this when reviewing the application.
Back-to-back DB gives higher stiffness and moment resistance; face-to-face DF allows more misalignment tolerance; tandem DT increases axial load capacity in one direction. The right choice depends on the spindle or drive design and the direction of the loads.
Yes. We support OEM and ODM projects from drawings or samples, including structural design, prototype production, and mass delivery. The registered YHU team can adapt materials, geometry, and performance parameters to the equipment condition.
We use hardened high-carbon chromium bearing steel for rings and balls in this category. This material provides the hardness, fatigue resistance, and dimensional stability needed for continuous high-speed operation. Our proposal can confirm the applicable material standard and heat-treatment requirement.
Yinghong operates under IATF 16949, RoHS, CE, and SGS certification. Our quality system covers incoming material, in-process inspection, and final testing, and independent SGS test reports can be incorporated for qualified projects.
Our portfolio also includes Deep Groove Ball Bearings for applications with different operating ranges, interfaces or integration requirements.
