We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Angular Contact Bearings", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release Bearings supplied for infrared camera in telescope from Rodriguez (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "Bearings and engineering analysis for the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) were supplied by R A Rodriguez, UK representatives for the Kaydon Corporation". Earlier in the week, we featured the news release Electric cylinder provides enhanced performance from Parker Hannifin Electromechanical Automation: "Parker Electromechanical has produced the ETV100 actuator suitable for materials handling and feed duties, testing equipment, pick-and-place tasks, as well as valve/flap actuation".
 
In January 2007, we covered the news from Aerotech concerning its ALAR large aperture rotary stages - take a look at Large aperture direct drive rotary stages which says: "Large aperture rotary stages combine brushless direct-drive motor technology and integral precision encoders with angular contact bearings for backlash-free, ultra precise positioning".
 
Take a look also at the news release from NSK UK, Basic principles used to select bearings, as well as Small bearings improve running accuracy from Rodriguez (UK), and Precise positioning stages have low height from Aerotech.
