Tapered Roller Bearings FAG 32230

The 32230 tapered roller bearing from FAG Wälzlager can withstand high radial and axial loads and has an outside diameter of 270 mm and a width of 77 mm.

The 32230 tapered roller bearing is a separable roller bearing designed for demanding bearing applications in mechanical and plant engineering. Thanks to its tapered roller arrangement, this roller bearing simultaneously transmits high radial loads and single-sided axial forces. The robust design ensures rigid shaft guidance and, when correctly specified, guarantees smooth running. With its external dimensions, the bearing is particularly suitable for heavier industrial gearboxes and robust drive shafts.

In which applications does the 32230 tapered roller bearing prove its worth?

Design engineers and maintenance technicians prefer to use this roller bearing in heavy-duty gearbox stages and industrial drives. As tapered roller bearings, by their design, can only accommodate axial forces in one direction, they are usually fitted in pairs in an O or X arrangement. This mirror-image arrangement enables precise guidance of the shaft in both axial directions. Furthermore, the fact that the inner ring with roller set and the outer ring can be fitted separately simplifies installation in heavy-duty assemblies.

What function does the sheet steel cage perform during operation?

The integrated sheet steel cage guides the tapered rolling elements precisely along the raceway of the inner ring and prevents direct contact between the rollers. The stamped sheet metal combines high mechanical strength with low weight, which reduces friction within the bearing. In combination with the permissible temperature range of –30 to +120 °C, the cage retains its dimensional stability. It is compatible with all standard industrial lubricating oils and greases without suffering any chemical degradation.
