What is an Angular Contact Bearing?
An angular contact bearing has a contact angle that can sustain significant radial and axial loads in one direction. Like other types of rolling-element bearings, it uses balls to carry a load and reduce rotational friction. Angular contact bearings are
What Makes a Thin Section Ball Bearing Different?
A thin section ball bearing differs from a standard ball bearing in more ways than you might think. It’s not just about the size, or thinness, of the bearing’s cross-section. Rather, it’s about the relationship, or ratio, of the cross-section
Preloaded Angular Contact Bearings
Preloaded angular contact bearings lock in the precision axial displacement of the bearing’s outer rings relative to its inner rings. If the thrust load is bi-directional, use a duplex arrangement for optimum performance. The benefits of preloading an angular contact
Thin Section Ball Bearings White Paper
Bearings need to withstand their operating environment and work within a larger system called a bearing assembly. Bearing design is important, but so is bearing integration. This two-step process consists of 1) the outer ring to housing fit-up and 2)
How to Choose an eVTOL Bearing Manufacturer
Learn how to choose an eVTOL bearing manufacturer that gives you a competitive edge. As eVTOL companies refine and improve their product designs, they need to do more than pursue lightweighting initiatives and the optimal arrangement of motors. eVTOL developers
