Four point contact bearings are single row angular contact bearings having a slight change in the construction compared to the angular contact bearing. This type of bearing normally tends to have contact at four points i.e. two in the outer race and two in the inner race.Four-point contact ball bearings are radial single row angular contact ball bearings with raceways that are designed to support axial loads in both directions. For a given axial load, a limited radial load can also be supported . The bearings are separable, i.e. the outer ring with ball and cage assembly can be mounted separately from the two inner ring halves.
