Timken® angular contact ball bearings are designed for combination radial and axial loading. Single-row bearings have high thrust capacity in one direction. Some single-row bearings are specifically designed for duplex mounting in sets for maximum performance.
Standard design angular contact ball bearings are in applications when one bearing is used for each bearing side The mounting can be either back-to-back or face-to-face. Because standard design bearings need to be adjusted for optimum performance, they are not suitable to mount immediately adjacent to each other.
Universally matched angular contact ball bearings, which are intended for fitting in pairs, have width and standout of the rings manufactured to closer tolerances The bearings can be fitted in back-to-back (DB), face-to-face (DF), or tandem arrangements (DT)
