Double Row Bearings

Double row bearings are a type of rolling element bearing that consists of two rows of rolling elements, such as balls or rollers, that are separated by a cage or spacer. This design allows for increased load carrying capacity and improved radial and axial stiffness compared to single row bearings.

There are several different types of double row bearings, including double row angular contact ball bearings, double row cylindrical roller bearings, and double row tapered roller bearings.

Double row angular contact ball bearings are designed to accommodate both radial and axial loads in both directions. They have an inner and outer ring with a contact angle that allows for high-speed rotation and excellent axial rigidity. These bearings are commonly used in applications such as machine tools, pumps, and gearboxes.

Overall, double row bearings offer increased load carrying capacity and improved stiffness compared to single row bearings. They are commonly used in applications that require high radial and axial loads, such as machine tools, gearboxes, and automotive systems.
