O ARRANGEMENT (BACK-TO-BACK)
The load lines converge outward along the bearing axis thus providing a greater abutment distance and consequently a great degree of system stiffness. The O arrangement accepts axial and radial loads acting in all directions.
X ARRANGEMENT (FACE-TO-FACE)
The load lines converge inward towards the bearing axis thus providing a shorter abutment distance and a lower angular stiffness of the whole assembly. The X arrangement is less sensitive to misalignments and accepts axial and radial loads in all directions.
