FAG angular contact bearings are ball bearings with offset raceways that allow them to support radial and axial loads in one direction. They are generally mounted in pairs, face-to-face or matched, to absorb combined forces and provide rigidity to the assembly. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this official brand line for industrial applications that demand precision and reliability.
The designation of these angular contact bearings is read as a series of four digits: the first two indicate the dimension series and the last two the bore diameter. For example, in 3217, 3218 and 3220 the 32 series corresponds to a medium section, while in 3314, 3315, 3316 and 3318 the 33 series has a more robust section. That difference influences load capacity and the available mounting space.
They are used in equipment with combined loads: centrifugal pumps, compressors, gearboxes, machine tool spindles, industrial fans and transmissions in general. In the Argentine market they are common in chemical, food and cement plants and in the metalworking sector, where a bearing that works with controlled clearance and good speed is required.
To select the correct bearing, you must take into account the direction of the axial load, the type of sealing or protection, the internal clearance and the mounting method. In angular contact, mounting in pairs is key: they are adjusted against each other to eliminate clearance and distribute the load. Proper lubrication and alignment of the housings also determine the service life of the assembly.
When replacing an angular contact bearing, it is advisable to verify equivalences between brands: different manufacturers use their own designations, but the main dimensions and contact angle usually match. It is always recommended to compare the series and bore diameter before replacing. If you have doubts, send the complete part number and we will help you identify the equivalent option.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does it mean for a bearing to be angular contact?
- It means that its raceways are offset, which allows it to support radial and axial loads in one direction. That is why they are mounted in pairs to cover forces in both directions.
- How do I choose between the 32 series and the 33 series?
- The 33 series has a larger section and load capacity than the 32. The choice depends on the available space and the equipment loads. Send me the measurements and we will advise you.
- Do FAG bearings have equivalents in other brands?
- Yes, in general the main dimensions and contact angle match between manufacturers. The best approach is to compare the series and bore diameter. Ask us with the part number and we will guide you.
