We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Angular Contact 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 Precision bearings improve machine tool quality from
NSK UK: "The TYN cage offers silent operation and 20% lower temperature generation in angular contact bearings used in machining centres and grinding spindle applications".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Rodriguez (UK)
concerning its Kaydon bearings
- take a look at Telescope uses world's largest IR camera
which says: "Kaydon bearings were selected for the filter wheel mechanism in the world's largest infra-red camera, part of the Vista telescope".
Take a look also at the news release from Parker Hannifin Electromechanical Automation, Actuators extend working life,
as well as Direct-drive stages for precision positioning from Aerotech,
and Bearings answer petrochemical demands from NSK UK.
