Single row IBC 40° angular contact ball bearings are available in series 70, 72 and 73 and are suitable for high external loads due to their internal geometry. Axial forces, which can only be accomodated in one direction pressure the rolling elements between the high shoulders of the inner and outer rings when under load. Radial forces also cause an axial force due to the contact angle, which must be taken into account in the design.

 – the performance-optimized formula - also consistently improves the requirements for longer life, higher speeds and better running characteristics in the design of 40° angular contact ball bearings. Through optimization in design, materials and production processes, it has been possible to achieve a significant improvement in service life and operating life, functional reliability, load carrying capacity and running characteristics, while at the same time reducing friction and lowering heat generation. Improvements in all industrial applications regarding functionality, economy and reliability have been achieved. IBC offers 40° angular contact ball bearings in both open and sealed designs. For the cages, either sheet steel, polyamide or brass is offered as material. As a universal design, the rolling bearings bear the suffixes UA, UB, UO, UL, UM or UH and are suitable for mounting in sets in X, O or tandem arrangements. Applications for the 40° angular contact ball bearings include gearboxes, geared motors, blowers, fans, pumps, textile machines and printing machines.
