How to Choose the Cage for Angular Contact Ball Bearings?
To choose the right cage for angular contact ball bearings, match the cage material to your application’s speed, temperature, load, and lubrication conditions. Use stamped steel for general industrial use, machined brass for high-load and high-temperature environments, polyamide (PA66) for low-noise, cost-sensitive applications, aluminum or titanium alloys for lightweight, high-speed systems, and carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) for ultra-high-speed or aerospace-grade precision. Each material impacts bearing performance, so cage selection must be based on actual working conditions.
