8482.10.50.28 - Other

This HTS category, 8482.10.50.28, is a residual classification for "Other" ball bearings within the broader group of "Angular contact bearings." It encompasses ball bearings designed for applications where both radial and axial loads are present, but which do not fit into more specific subcategories of angular contact bearings that might be defined by unique design features, construction, or specialized applications. These bearings are characterized by their ability to handle combined loading conditions effectively.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, "Wheel hub bearings units," is crucial. Wheel hub bearing units are specifically designed integrated assemblies for vehicle wheel applications, often including seals and a mounting flange. In contrast, this "Other" category covers individual angular contact ball bearings that do not constitute a pre-assembled wheel hub unit. The focus here is on the bearing itself, rather than a complete functional assembly.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS database, it does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this category is determined by the absence of suitability for more specific classifications within the angular contact ball bearing group, while still meeting the general criteria for angular contact ball bearings designed to manage both radial and axial forces. Examples might include standard single-row or double-row angular contact ball bearings intended for general industrial machinery where specific design attributes do not warrant a more granular classification.
