Angular contact roller bearings AXS comprise thin, formed bearing rings, between which injection-moulded plastic cages with cylindrical rollers are arranged. In contrast to comparable axial rolling bearings, series AXS has a particularly small cross-section, whilst the load carrying capacity and tilting rigidity are very high in relation to the loaded installation space. The ready-to-fit machine elements are not self-retaining and are therefore very easy to assemble as the individual parts can be installed separately.
