3 3 Angular contact ball bearings Designs and variants Angular contact ball bearings have raceways in the inner and outer rings that are displaced with respect to each other in the direction of the bearing axis. This means that they are designed to accommodate combined loads, i.e. simultaneously acting radial and axial loads. The axial load carrying capacity of angular contact ball bearings increases with increasing contact angle. The contact angle is defined as the angle between the line joining the points of contact of the ball and the raceways in the radial plane, along which the load is transmitted from one raceway to another, and a line perpendicular to the bearing axis ( fig. 1). SKF angular contact ball bearings are manufactured in a wide variety of designs and sizes. The most commonly used designs are: single row angular contact ball bearings double row angular contact ball bearings four-point contact ball bearings More information Bearing life and load ratings Design considerations Bearing systems Recommended fits Abutment and fillet dimensions Lubrication Mounting, dismounting and bearing care Mounting instructions for individual bearings skf.com/mount contact angle Fig. 1 Angular contact ball bearings listed in this catalogue constitute the basic SKF assortment and are only part of the total assortment. Other SKF angular contact ball bearings include: Super-precision angular contact ball bearings For additional information, refer to the product information available online at skf.com/super-precision. Thin section angular contact ball bearings For additional information, contact the SKF application engineering service. Hub bearing units Information about these products can be supplied on request. Angular contact ball bearings with a larger size than those listed in the product tables are available on request. For information about these bearings, refer to the product information available online at skf.com/bearings, or contact the SKF application engineering service. Single row angular contact ball bearings SKF single row angular contact ball bearings ( fig. 2) can accommodate axial loads in one direction only. A single row bearing is typically adjusted against a second bearing. The bearings are non-separable and the bearing rings have one high and one low shoulder. The low shoulder enables a large number of balls to be incorporated in the bearing, giving it a relatively high load carrying capacity. 476

4 Designs and variants The standard assortment of SKF single row angular contact ball bearings comprises bearings in the 72 B(E) and 73 B(E) series. Some sizes in the 70 B series are also available. Matrix 1 ( page 500) provides an overview of the standard assortment. In addition, SKF single row angular contact ball bearings are available in many other designs, dimension series, and sizes. For additional information, refer to the product information available online at skf.com/bearings. Basic design bearings Basic design bearings are intended for arrangements where only one bearing is used at each bearing position. They have Normal tolerances concerning bearing width and standout of the rings. Therefore, they are not suitable for mounting immediately adjacent to each other. Bearings for universal matching Bearings for universal matching are intended to be used in sets. The width and the standout of the rings are manufactured to close tolerances. When two bearings are mounted immediately adjacent to each other, a given internal clearance or preload or an even load distribution between the two bearings is obtained without the use of shims or similar devices. Bearings for universal matching can also be beneficial in arrangements with single bearings. Most bearings belong to the SKF Explorer performance class and as such have higher precision, increased load carrying capacity and speed capability. Bearings for universal matching in the 72 B(E) and 73 B(E) series are identified by the suffix CA, CB or CC for internal clearance or GA, GB or GC for preload. Bearings for universal matching in the 70 B series are identified by the suffix G for clearance. When ordering, indicate the number of individual bearings required and not the number of sets. Fig

5 3 Angular contact ball bearings Paired mounting Paired mounting can be done in three ways ( fig. 3): Tandem arrangement A tandem arrangement is used when the load carrying capacity of a single bearing is inadequate. When arranged in tandem, the load lines are parallel and the radial and axial loads are equally shared by the bearings. However, the bearing set can accommodate axial loads in one direction only. If axial loads act in both directions, a third bearing, adjusted against the tandem pair, must be added. Back-to-back arrangement Mounting two bearings back-to-back provides a relatively stiff bearing arrangement, which can also accommodate tilting moments. When arranged back-to-back, the load lines diverge towards the bearing axis. Axial loads in both directions can be accommodated, but only by one bearing in each direction. Face-to-face arrangement Mounting two bearings face-to-face is not as stiff as a back-to-back arrangement, but less sensitive to misalignment. When arranged face-to-face, the load lines converge towards the bearing axis. Axial loads in both directions can be accommodated, but only by one bearing in each direction. Double row angular contact ball bearings SKF double row angular contact ball bearings ( fig. 4) correspond in design to two single row angular contact ball bearings arranged back-to-back, but take up less axial space. They can accommodate radial loads as well as axial loads in both directions. They provide stiff bearing arrangements and are able to accommodate tilting moments. The standard assortment of SKF double row angular contact ball bearings comprises bearings in the 32 A, 33 A and 33 D series. Matrix 2 ( page 501) provides an overview of the standard assortment. For information about other double row angular contact ball bearings, refer to the product information available online at skf.com/bearings. Bearings in the 52 and 53 series, in ac cordance with ABMA standards, are no longer available from SKF and have been replaced with 32 and 33 series bearings in accordance with ISO. With the exception of size 3200, 32 and 33 series bearings are dimensionally interchangeable with bearings in the 52 and 53 series. Size 3200 has a width of 14 mm instead of 14,3 mm.

6 Designs and variants Basic design bearings Basic design bearings (designation suffix A) have an optimized internal geometry to provide high radial and axial load carrying capacity and quiet operation. Basic design bearings that are also available capped may have recesses in the inner and outer rings ( fig. 5). Bearings with a two-piece inner ring Bearings with a two-piece inner ring ( fig. 6) incorporate a large number of large balls, giving the bearing its high load carrying capacity, especially in the axial direction. Bearings in the 33 D series are separable, i.e. the outer ring with ball and cage assemblies can be mounted independently of the inner ring halves. Bearings in the 33 DNRCBM series are nonseparable. They have a snap ring groove with a snap ring in the outer ring, enabling simple and space-saving axial location in the housing. Bearings in the 33 DNRCBM series have been designed specifically for centrifugal pumps, but can also be used in other applications. Fig. 4 Fig. 5 3 Fig D 33 DNRCBM 479

7 3 Angular contact ball bearings Four-point contact ball bearings Four-point contact ball bearings ( fig. 7) are radial single row angular contact ball bearings with raceways that are designed to support axial loads in both directions. For a given axial load, a limited radial load can be supported ( Load ratio, page 499). These bearings take up considerably less axial space than double row bearings. The inner ring is split. This enables a large number of balls to be incorporated in the bearing, giving the bearing its high load carrying capacity. The bearings are separable, i.e. the outer ring with ball and cage assembly can be mounted separately from the two inner ring halves. Both inner ring halves of SKF Explorer fourpoint contact ball bearings have a recessed shoulder. This improves oil flow when the bearing is used together with an SKF cylindrical roller bearing ( fig. 12, page 499). In addition, these recesses can be used to facilitate dismounting. The standard assortment of SKF four-point contact ball bearings comprises bearings in the QJ 2 and QJ 3 series. Matrix 3 ( page 502) provides an overview of the standard assortment. For information about other four-point contact ball bearings, refer to the product information available online at skf.com/bearings.

8 Designs and variants Cages Depending on their design, series and size, SKF angular contact ball bearings are fitted with one of the cages shown in table 1. Double row bearings are equipped with two cages. The stamped steel cage in double row bearings is not identified in the bearing designation. For information about the availability of cages for the various bearing designs, series and sizes, refer to matrices 1 to 3 ( pages 500 to 502). The lubricants generally used for rolling bearings do not have a detrimental effect on cage properties. However, some synthetic oils and greases with a synthetic oil base and lubricants containing a high proportion of EP additives, when used at high temperatures, can have a detrimental effect on polyamide cages. For additional information about the suitability of cages, refer to Cages ( page 37) and Cage materials ( page 152). 3 Table 1 Cages for double row angular contact ball bearings Standard assortment matrix 2, page 501 Cages for four-point contact ball bearings Standard assortment matrix 3, page 502 Window-type, ball centred Snap-type, ball centred Snap-type, ball centred Snap-type, crown, ball centred Window-type, ball centred Prong-type, outer ring centred Window-type, outer ring centred Window-type, lubrication grooves in the guiding surface, outer ring centred Machined brass, machined steel 1) PA66, glass fibre reinforced Stamped steel Stamped steel Machined brass Machined brass Machined brass PEEK, glass fibre reinforced M, F 1) TN9 M MA MA PHAS 481

9 3 Angular contact ball bearings Sealing solutions SKF supplies the most common basic design double row angular contact ball bearings capped with a contact seal or shield on both sides ( matrix 2, page 501). For additional information about the suitability of seals or shields under various conditions, refer to Sealing solutions ( page 226). Bearings capped on both sides are lubricated for the life of the bearing and should not be washed or relubricated. The bearings are considered maintenance-free. If they are to be hot mounted, an induction heater should be used. SKF does not recommend heating capped bearings above 80 C (175 F). However, if higher temperatures are necessary make sure that the temperature does not exceed the permissible temperature of either the seal or grease, which ever is lowest. During start-up, grease may leak at the inner ring. For bearing arrangements where this would be detrimental, special design steps must be undertaken. For additional information, contact the SKF application engineering service. SKF double row angular contact ball bearings with a shield on both sides are identified by the designation suffix 2Z. Contact seals Contact seals ( fig. 9) are made of NBR and are reinforced with a sheet steel insert. These seals, which are fitted in a recess on the outer ring, make good, positive contact with the recess. The seal lip exerts light pressure against the recess on the inner ring to provide an effective seal. SKF double row angular contact ball bearings with a contact seal on both sides are identified by the designation suffix 2RS1. Shields Shields are made of sheet steel. SKF supplies shields in two designs. The shields used in smaller bearings have an extension in the shield bore to form a long, narrow gap with the land of the inner ring shoulder ( fig. 8a). The shields used in larger bearings and in all SKF Explorer bearings extend into a recess on the inner ring ( fig. 8b). Fig. 8 Fig. 9 a b 482

10 Designs and variants Greases for capped bearings Capped double row angular contact ball bearings are filled with one of the following greases ( table 2): The standard grease is GJN. In Europe, MT33 is commonly used and widely available. SKF Energy Efficient angular contact ball bearings are filled with the low-friction grease GE2. Other greases listed in table 2 can be supplied on request. 3 The standard grease is not identified in the bearing designation (no designation suffix). Other greases are indicated by the corresponding grease suffix.

11 3 Angular contact ball bearings Locating slots SKF four-point contact ball bearings can be supplied with two locating slots in the outer ring ( fig. 10) to prevent it from turning (designation suffix N2). The locating slots are positioned 180 apart. The dimensions and tolerances of the locating slots are in accordance with ISO and are listed in table 3. Some SKF single row angular contact ball bearings can be supplied with one locating slot in the outer ring (designation suffix N1).

12 Performance classes Performance classes SKF Explorer bearings In response to the ever-demanding performance requirements of modern machinery, SKF developed the SKF Explorer performance class of rolling bearings. SKF Explorer angular contact ball bearings realized this substantial improvement in performance by optimizing the internal geometry and surface finish of all contact surfaces, redesigning the cage, combining the extremely clean and homogenous steel with a unique heat treatment and improving the quality and consistency of the balls. These improvements provide the following benefits: higher dynamic load carrying capacity less sensitivity to heavy axial loads improved wear-resistance reduced noise and vibration levels less frictional heat significantly longer bearing service life These bearings reduce environmental impact by enabling downsizing and reducing both lubricant and energy consumption. Just as importantly, SKF Explorer bearings can reduce the need for maintenance and contribute to increased productivity. SKF Explorer bearings are shown with an asterisk in the product tables. The bearings retain the designation of earlier standard bearings. However, each bearing and its box are marked with the name SKF Explorer. SKF Energy Efficient (E2) bearings To meet the ever-increasing demand to reduce friction and energy consumption, SKF has developed the SKF Energy Efficient (E2) performance class of rolling bearings. Angular contact ball bearings within this performance class are characterized by a frictional moment in the bearing that is at least 30% lower when compared to a same-sized standard SKF bearing. Due to the reduction of the frictional moment, SKF E2 double row angular contact ball bearings run up to 20 C (35 F) cooler than standard bearings. This extends grease life and potentially bearing service life. The bearings realized the substantial reduction of the frictional moment by optimizing the internal geometry of the bearing and applying a new, low-friction grease. SKF E2 double row angular contact ball bearings are available in the 32 and 33 dimension series ( matrix 2, page 501). The bearings are equipped with a shield on both sides and lubricated for the life of the bearing

22 Loads Calculating the axial load for bearings mounted singly or paired in tandem When a radial load is applied to a single row angular contact ball bearing, the load is transmitted from one raceway to the other at an angle to the bearing axis and an internal axial load is induced. This must be considered when calculating the equivalent bearing loads for bearing arrangements consisting of two single bearings and/or bearing pairs arranged in tandem. The necessary equations are provided in table 11 ( page 496), for the various bearing arrangements and load cases. The equations are only valid if the bearings are adjusted against each other to practically zero clearance, but without any preload. In the arrangements shown, bearing A is subjected to a radial load F ra and bearing B to a radial load F rb. Both F ra and F rb are always considered positive, even when they act in the direction opposite to what is shown in the figures. The radial loads act at the pressure centres of the bearings ( distance a in the product tables). The variable R from table 11 ( page 496) takes into account the contact conditions inside the bearing. The values for R can be obtained from diagram 1, as a function of the ratio K a /C. K a is the external axial force acting on the shaft or on the housing and C is the basic dynamic load rating of the bearing, which must accommodate the external axial force. Use R = 1 for K a = 0.

24 Permissible speed Temperature limits The permissible operating temperature for angular contact ball bearings can be limited by: the dimensional stability of the bearing rings and balls the cage the seals the lubricant When temperatures outside the permissible range are expected, contact the SKF application engineering service. Bearing rings and balls SKF angular contact ball bearings undergo a special heat treatment. The bearings are heat stabilized up to at least 150 C (300 F). Cages Steel, brass or PEEK cages can be used at the same operating temperatures as the bearing rings and balls. For temperature limits of cages made of other polymer mater ials, refer to Cage materials ( page 152). Seals The permissible operating temperature for NBR seals is 40 to +100 C ( 40 to +210 F). Temperatures up to 120 C (250 F) can be tolerated for brief periods. Lubricants Temperature limits for greases used in capped SKF angular contact ball bearings are provided in table 2 ( page 483). Temperature limits for other SKF greases are provided under Lubrication ( page 239). When using lubricants not supplied by SKF, the temperature limits should be evaluated according to the SKF traffic light concept ( page 244). Permissible speed The permissible speed can be estimated using the speed ratings listed in the product tables and applying the information provided under Speeds ( page 117). If no reference speed is listed in the product tables, the limiting speed is the permissible speed. Bearing pairs For bearings arranged in pairs, the permissible speed calculated for a single bearing should be reduced to approximately 80% of the quoted value

25 3 Angular contact ball bearings Design of bearing arrangements Single row angular contact ball bearings Proper adjustment Single row angular contact ball bearings must either be used with a second bearing or in sets ( fig. 11). The bearings must be adjusted against each other until the requisite clearance or preload is obtained ( Bearing preload, page 214). When universally matchable bearings are mounted immediately adjacent to each other, there is no need for adjustment. The requisite clearance or preload is obtained by choosing bearings from an appropriate clearance or preload class and by applying suitable fits for the bearings on the shaft and in the housing. The performance and operational reliability of single bearings depend on proper adjustment while universally matchable bearings depend on the correct selection of clearance or preload. If there is too much clearance in the bearing arrangement during operation, the load carrying capacity of the bearings is not fully utilized. Excessive preload produces more friction and higher operating temperatures, leading to a reduction in bearing service life. Axial loads in one direction Back-to-back and face-to-face arrangements require special attention when the axial load acts predominantly in one direction. This creates unfavourable rolling conditions for the balls of the axially unloaded bearing and can lead to increased noise levels, discontinuity in the lubricant film and increased stresses on the cage. When the axial load acts pre dom inantly in one direction, SKF recommends zero operating clearance, which can be attained by using springs. Load ratio Because of the 40 contact angle, favourable rolling conditions for bearings in the 70 B, 72 B(E) and 73 B(E) series require a load ratio of F a /F r 1. A load ratio of F a /F r < 1 can reduce bearing service life. Fig. 11 Single bearings, face-to-face Bearing set, back-to-back 498

26 Design of bearing arrangements Four-point contact ball bearings Used as a thrust bearing Four-point contact ball bearings are often used as pure thrust bearings, together with a radial bearing ( fig. 12). When used in this way, the bearing should be mounted with radial clearance in the housing. When a four-point contact ball bearing is used together with a cylindrical roller bearing, the radial internal clearance of the cylindrical roller bearing should be smaller than the theor eti cal radial internal clearance of the fourpoint contact ball bearing after both have been mounted. The theoretical radial clearance can be calculated from 3 C r = 0,7 C a where C r = theoretical radial internal clearance C a = axial internal clearance ( table 8, page 490) The outer ring of the four-point contact ball bearing must be able to accommodate thermal movements. Therefore, it should not be clamped axially, but a small gap should be maintained between the outer ring and the cover flange. To prevent the outer ring from turning, bearings with locating slots should be used ( fig. 12). If clamping the outer ring cannot be avoided, the outer ring must be carefully centred during mounting. Vertical shafts When four-point contact ball bearings with a machined brass cage (designation suffix MA) are used on a vertical shaft, the limiting speed listed in the product tables should be reduced to 70% of the value listed in the product tables. As with all vertical shafts, be sure that the bearings are adequately lubricated. Fig. 12 Load ratio Four-point contact ball bearings do not function properly unless the balls contact only one inner ring raceway and the opposite side of the outer ring raceway. This is the case when the load ratio F a /F r 1,27. A load ratio of F a /F r < 1,27 can reduce bearing service life. 499
