Angular contact roller bearings AXS comprise thin, formed bearing rings, between which injection-moulded plastic cages with cylindrical rollers are arranged. The dimensions and tolerances of the rolling elements conform to DIN ISO 5402-1. The modified line contact between the cylindrical rollers and raceways prevents damaging edge stresses.
In contrast to comparable axial rolling bearings, series AXS has a particularly small cross section, whilst the load carrying capacity and tilting rigidity are very high in relation to the loaded installation space. Due to the small cross section of the bearing rings,radial section heights of just 7 mm to 10 mm can be achieved. This permits very compact bearing arrangements with a high load carrying capacity.Turned contact surfaces suffice for the bearing rings.
