Abstract:
Provided is an angular contact ball bearing that can have a load capacity increased by increasing the diameter of each ball and that is suitably used mainly to bear a thrust load. In the angular contact ball bearing, a plurality of balls are rollably interposed between an inner ring raceway groove formed on an outer peripheral surface of an inner ring and an outer ring raceway groove formed on an inner peripheral surface of an outer ring. The plurality of balls are retained by a plurality of separator retainers that are interposed between the adjacent balls and that are spaced apart from each other. A contact angle θ of each ball is within a range of 45° to 65°.

Claim (Index 7):
The angular contact ball bearing as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein, when all the balls and the separator retainers are gathered in a circumferential direction of the bearing to form an assembly, a gap between opposite ends of the assembly is 15 to 25% of the diameter of each ball.
