Think of the angular contact bearing as a cross between a radial ball bearing and a ball thrust bearing - the raised shoulders on the inner and outer ring are 'thrust' faces - the axial thrust causes the balls to 'ride up' these thrust faces .
The reduced shoulder on the non thrust side allows for installation of a larger number of balls, increasing the axial and radial load capacity.
