We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Angular Contact Ball Bearings",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Bearings cope with harsh agricultural applications from
Schaeffler (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "Schaeffler has developed a ready-to-fit bearing unit with triple-lip sealing to avoid the need for maintenance in tough agricultural applications".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Bearings chosen by racing car company from
SKF UK: "Hewland Engineering uses SKF cylindrical roller bearings in its transmissions, as well as tapered roller bearings and four-point contact ball bearings".
In July 2007, we covered the news from NSK UK
concerning its TYN cage and TB cage
- take a look at Precision bearings improve machine tool quality
which says: "The TYN cage offers silent operation and 20% lower temperature generation in angular contact bearings used in machining centres and grinding spindle applications".
Take a look also at the news release from Schaeffler (UK), Bearings and training cut fuel consumption,
as well as Bearings acquisition adds aerospace expertise from SKF UK,
and Linear drive modules are ideal for robotics from SKF UK.
