Technical information on Four point contact bearings
Four point contact bearings are particularly suitable where:
- Predominantly axial loads must be supported
- The axial design envelope is not sufficient for double row radial angular contact ball bearings
- Radial forces must be supported by a separate radial bearing
- Axial forces occur in both directions and a close axial clearance is required in conjunction with a small bearing width, e. g. in gearbox engineering
