Four-point contact ball bearing
These bearings have a contact angle of 35° and an inner ring divided into two annular pieces. They are suitable for applications that involve either axial or combined loading, where the axial load makes up the major part of the load. Another advantage is that they are able to support axial load and a certain degree of radial load. Each rolling element is in contact with each of the inner and outer rings at a single point. Both contact points lie on the contact angle line. The line runs to either the right or left depending on the direction of the axial load. It is essential to carefully examine the application conditions, especially load magnitudes, when choosing appropriate four-point contact ball bearings. Therefore, you are invited to consult JTEKT if you are considering installing this type of bearing in your product(s).
