Angular-contact spherical plain bearing B SA series

steelthrustfor heavy loads

Angular contact bearings, RBC series B-SA, are intended for applications with thrust loads exceeding the capability of a radial bearing. Angular contact bearings can support both radial and thrust loads. Single acting bearings are separable and support thrust loads in only one direction (figure 9). To support heavy thrust loads in both directions, use either 2 single acting bearings mounted in an “O” or “X” configuration (figure 10) or consider a double acting bearing, see below. Angular contact bearings do not have the misalignment capabilities of radial bearings, in fact, the angle of misalignment is generally quite small.
