When a shaft has to carry radial and axial forces at the same time, in either direction, a double row angular contact ball bearing is often the answer. Two rows of balls let it absorb tilting moments and heavier duty than a single row unit. Machine tool spindles, pumps, compressors and similar industrial equipment rely on this design for stiffness and accuracy. MR Industrial Accessories supplies the NSK BDDU series for these jobs.

Reading the BDDU code is straightforward. The digits at the front set the size and dimension series. BD marks the double row angular contact version, and DU means a seal sits on each side. So 5201BDDU, 5202BDDU, 5205BDDU and 5206BDDU are all double row bearings with two seals. Once you know the pattern, you can tell the main features of a bearing from its reference alone.

Double row angular contact bearings show up in many kinds of equipment: main spindles on machine tools, centrifugal and positive displacement pumps, screw and reciprocating compressors, gearboxes and transmission cases, and material handling machinery. Food, chemical and petrochemical plants also use them, because they handle combined loads and keep production running.

Choosing the right unit means looking at how large and which way the loads act, the speed of rotation, the surroundings and the lubrication method. The DU seals keep contaminants out and hold lubricant in, which helps in dirty or damp environments. Shaft and housing must be aligned accurately, and the mounting method has to suit the bearing so the raceways are not damaged. Grease or oil should be the grade the manufacturer specifies for that application.

Replacements often carry equivalent codes from other makers. Outer dimensions may line up, but tolerances, internal clearance and materials can differ. Check interchangeability against equivalence tables or hand over the original code before you order. MR Industrial Accessories can help you confirm the correct replacement so the equipment stays in service.
