Supports Combined Loads Efficiently

Single row angular contact ball bearing is a basic type of bearing, designed to accommodate both radial and significant axial loads simultaneously, but only in one direction for a single bearing.
 
The internal geometry features offset raceways creating a contact angle, enabling this crucial capability. This makes them an ideal choice for applications where both load types are present and need reliable management, such as in pumps and compressors.
 
Select these when simple radial bearings aren’t enough.

Variety of Contact Angles Available

These angular contact bearings are available with different standard contact angles (commonly 15°, 25°, 30°, 40°). Different contact angles result in different performance: larger angle provides higher axial load capacity but generally lower speed capability, while smaller angle offers higher speed potential but lower axial capacity.
 
Choose the contact angle that best balances the axial load magnitude and operational speed requirements for your specific machinery, ensuring optimal performance and lifespan.

Versatile Choice Among Bearing Types

As a widely used type of bearing, single row angular contact ball bearings offer a versatile solution for many industrial applications like gearboxes, electric motors, and machine tool components where combined loads occur.
 
While a double row angular contact ball bearing offers bidirectional axial support in one unit, single row bearings provide more flexibility in arrangement and preload control. They represent a reliable and cost-effective choice for numerous standard engineering challenges.

Single Row Angular Contact Ball Bearing Selection Guide

Choose single row angular contact ball bearings when the application needs to support radial load together with axial load in one direction. Use the product list to compare 72 and 73 series models by bore size, contact angle, cage material, open or sealed design, load rating, maximum speed, tolerance class, and pairing requirements. For axial load in both directions, single row angular contact bearings are normally mounted in pairs or bearing sets.

How to Choose This Bearing Type

Start by confirming the load direction. A single row angular contact ball bearing can support radial load and axial load in one direction. If the shaft must carry axial load in both directions, two bearings are normally arranged back-to-back, face-to-face, or in tandem depending on rigidity, load direction, preload requirement, and mounting space.

Next, check speed, shaft support rigidity, contact angle, preload or clearance requirement, and whether the bearing will be used alone or as a matched pair. A single row angular contact ball bearing is not the same as a four-point contact bearing or a double row angular contact bearing, so the complete bearing arrangement should be confirmed before replacement.

Common Series and Model Range

The current product list contains 600 metric single row angular contact ball bearing configurations. The main series include 72 and 73 series, with additional 70, 719, 718, 74, ALS, AMS, and large-size configurations. Bore sizes range from 10 mm to selected large industrial sizes above 1000 mm.

Contact Angle, Open Type, and Cage Selection

Contact angle is one of the most important selection factors. A 40° bearing is commonly used where axial load capacity is important, while 25° and 30° options may be selected according to speed, rigidity, and load balance. Always confirm the contact angle shown in the complete bearing designation.

Open bearings are suitable where lubrication is managed by the equipment or where higher speed and lower friction are priorities. Selected sealed models, such as 2RZ-style configurations, can help retain lubricant and reduce contamination, but sealing may affect speed, friction, and operating temperature.

Cage material should also be checked carefully. Brass cages are often selected for robustness and demanding conditions, while nylon cages may suit many general industrial applications. Stainless steel cage options appear in selected models and should be confirmed by full bearing designation.

Key Specifications to Confirm Before Quotation

For a quotation, provide the complete bearing number, bore diameter, outside diameter, width, contact angle, cage material, seal type, tolerance class, load direction, operating speed, lubrication method, mounting arrangement, quantity, and any drawing or sample photos.

If the bearing will be mounted in pairs, also confirm the arrangement: back-to-back, face-to-face, or tandem. Preload, axial clearance, universal matching suffixes, and mounting direction can affect performance, so these details should not be omitted during inquiry.

SKF / FAG / NTN Replacement Notes

Many buyers search single row angular contact ball bearings by SKF-style, FAG-style, NTN-style, or other brand-style numbers. TFL can help check replacement, alternative, cross-reference, or interchange options based on the complete designation, dimensions, suffixes, and application requirements.

Keep suffixes such as B, AC, A, BE, BECBP, BECBM, BEP, BEGAP, 2RZ, M, P, GA, GB, CB, DB, DF, DT, and precision or preload codes in the inquiry. These suffixes may define contact angle, cage, seal type, preload, matching condition, or bearing arrangement. TFL does not claim that alternatives are original brand products or authorized replacements unless clearly stated.

Common Applications

Single row angular contact ball bearings are commonly used in pumps, compressors, gearboxes, electric motors, industrial drives, machine tools, textile machinery, fans, blowers, and shaft systems that need combined radial and axial load support.

They are especially useful where shaft positioning, speed capability, rigidity, and one-direction axial load support are important. For high-speed spindle applications or very tight runout requirements, a super precision angular contact bearing category may be more suitable.

Selection Insight

Do not select a single row angular contact bearing by bore size alone. Confirm contact angle, mounting direction, pairing requirement, cage, speed, preload or clearance, lubrication, and axial load direction before approving a replacement.

Popular Models / High-Demand Models

Popular models from this product list include 7205 BECBP, 7206 BECBP, 7208 BECBP, 7210 BECBP, 7305 BECBP, 7306 BECBP, 7308 BECBP, and 7310 BECBP. Sealed examples include 7205 BE-2RZP, 7206 BE-2RZP, and 7306 BE-2RZP.

For a focused product page, 7206 BECBP is a good priority model because it has a common 30 mm bore, broad industrial use, and clear single row angular contact bearing positioning. 7306 BECBP is also worth considering for buyers who need higher load capacity in the same bore size range.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

an image showing FAQ

Why can a single bearing only take axial load one way?

Because the internal raceways are offset relative to each other, creating an angle. Load is transmitted along this angle, meaning axial force can only be properly supported in one direction based on how the bearing is oriented.

What's the main difference between single row angular contact ball bearings vs. double row angular contact ball bearing?

A single row bearing has one row of balls and handles axial load in one direction (when used alone).
A double row angular contact ball bearing has two rows, typically arranged internally like a DB pair, handling bidirectional axial loads in a single, more compact unit.

How do I choose the right contact angle when buying?

Consider your load ratio and speed. Higher axial load component suggests a larger angle (e.g., 40°). Higher speed requirements favor a smaller angle (e.g., 25°). Consult product detail pages.

How long will it take to ship after the payment?

We have sufficient inventory. Most orders will be shipped within 10 days or less. After the order is dispatched, you can track the logistics information at any time until the goods are signed for.
