AI Technical Summary
When a single-row angular contact ball bearing is subjected to radial loads or combined loads, insufficient preload will lead to reduced bearing rotational accuracy and rigidity, increased vibration and noise, and shortened bearing life.
By installing a compression spring on the outer ring, an axial force is applied to press the outer ring against the steel ball, so that the outer ring, inner ring and steel ball are always in contact and in a pre-tightened state. The pre-tightening force of the spring is used to eliminate the additional axial force and external load of the bearing.
This achieves a preloaded state for the bearing under combined loads, improving rotational accuracy and rigidity, reducing vibration and noise, and extending bearing life.
