Cutaway View of an Angular Contact Ball Bearing

Messinger Bearings manufactures custom angular contact bearings in large sizes for heavy duty applications. 

Angular Contact Ball Bearings are designed with offset raceways between the inner and outer rings which creates a specific contact angle under load. Due to this configuration, these bearings are well suited to carry combined axial and radial loading.  In a single-row these bearings can carry axial loading in only one direction and are frequently manufactured in double row,  sold in pairs, or adjusted against another bearing.

The offset raceways in angular contact bearings have one shoulder removed to allow for a greater complement of balls than standard deep groove ball bearings. These bearings are good choices for high speed applications and Messinger can manufacture them to an ABEC 5 precision class.
