KOYO Automotive Angular Contact Bearings are high-precision bearings designed to handle both radial and axial loads in automotive applications, and at Finer Power Transmissions, we proudly stock leading brands such as KOYO.
KOYO is a globally recognized Japanese manufacturer known for delivering exceptional bearing quality, innovation, and performance to meet the rigorous demands of the automotive industry.
What are the differences between general Angular Contact Bearings and Automotive Angular Contact Bearings
General Angular Contact Bearings are designed to support combined loads (both radial and axial loads) and operate at high speeds. They’re widely used in machinery like pumps, gearboxes, motors, machine tools, etc. Standard angular contact bearings can come in different contact angles (e.g., 15°, 30°, 40°) and configurations (single row, double row, matched pairs) depending on the application.
Automotive Angular Contact Bearings are a specialised subset of angular contact bearings specifically designed for automotive applications. They are engineered to meet the higher demands found in vehicles — such as high load capacity, impact resistance, compact design for tight spaces, enhanced durability against vibration and contamination, and optimised performance at different operating temperatures and speeds.
Automotive angular contact bearings are commonly used in wheel hubs, transmissions, clutches, and differentials. They often include extra design considerations like integrated seals, preloaded assemblies, or special lubrications tailored for automotive environments.
