Abstract
A two row, angular contact, separable race ring wheel bearing is given increased load capacity by maximizing the sizes of the two ball rows within the available annular envelope available between the inner spindle and outer hub. The two pathways for the outboard ball row, the first installed ball row, are ground right out to the radial limits of the envelope, allowing the diameter of the outboard ball row to be as large as possible, and larger than the inboard ball row. The larger diameter of the one ball row increases load capacity with no other significant change in the design of the bearing.
