Barden Bearings 106HDM Angular Contact Ball Bearing

The Barden 106HDM Angular Contact Ball Bearing is a precision single-row angular contact bearing from Barden (a Schaeffler brand) designed for high-speed spindles and precision machinery. Like other Barden angular contact bearings, it is engineered to carry a combination of radial and axial loads, with axial capacity tied to the bearing’s contact angle, which lies in Barden’s range of 10° to 25°. The 106HDM variant can be configured in standard or preloaded duplex arrangements such as back-to-back (DB) or face-to-face (DF) to boost stiffness and thrust capability, or in tandem (DT) for additional capacity. Barden offers separable and non-separable designs within their angular contact family, enabling easier installation in blind holes or in housings, with cage materials including phenolic and bronze depending on size and speed requirements. Used across high-precision sectors—machine tools, spindles, aerospace instrumentation, medical systems, vacuum technology—you’ll find the 106HDM bearing in demanding applications where precision, speed, and reliability matter. This model belongs to Barden’s legacy line of super-precision bearings renowned for high-speed performance and tight tolerances, making it a suitable choice for spindle assemblies and other equipment requiring accurate rotational behavior and long service life.
