SKF angular contact ball bearings are designed to handle both radial and axial loads, but unlike deep groove ball bearings, they can manage significant axial loads in one direction due to their specific design.

Angular contact ball bearings are ideal for applications which have a combined radial and axial load in one direction. They can also be used in pairs to give axial load capacity in both directions. Features and benefits of SKF angular contact bearings include:
Angular contact ball bearings are ideal for use in demanding applications such as pumps, compressors and machine tool spindles - often running at high speeds and under poor lubrication and contaminated conditions. The following are an example of applications where angular contact bearings are used:
Angular contact ball bearings are rolling-element bearings with raceways in the inner and outer rings that are displaced relative to each other in the bearing axis direction. This design lets them support combined loads — both radial and axial loads — especially at high speeds.
Unlike deep groove ball bearings (which mostly support radial loads with some axial load limits), angular contact bearings are engineered with a contact angle that makes them much better at handling significant axial loads plus radial loads.
