FAG from Schaeffler double row angular contact ball bearings are units with solid inner and outer rings and ball and cage assemblies with polyamide, sheet steel or brass cages. They correspond in design to single row angular contact ball bearings in pairs in an O arrangement but give a narrower design. They differ in the size of their contact angle and the design of the bearing rings. The bearings are available in open and sealed versions. Due to the production technology used, open bearings can still have turned recesses on the outer ring for seals or shields. Sealed bearings are maintenance free and, as a result, allow economical bearing arrangements. The self-alignment capacity of angular contact ball bearings is small.

• Lower operating costs • Reduced maintenance due to improved lubrication
• Lower heat generation
• Less noise
