Tapered Roller Bearings FAG 32322

The 32322 tapered roller bearing from FAG Wälzlager accommodates high radial and axial loads and, thanks to its sheet steel cage, is suitable for demanding industrial applications.

The 32322 tapered roller bearing from FAG Wälzlager accommodates combined loads from the radial and single-direction axial directions. The rolling elements roll with low friction thanks to tapered raceways on the inner and outer rings. The design features an outer diameter of 240 mm and a width of 84.5 mm. With its sheet steel cage, this metric roller bearing maintains its dimensional stability even under varying operating conditions and guides the rollers evenly. The open design facilitates the supply of lubricant into the housing.

What are the applications of the 32322 tapered roller bearing in industrial plant?

This roller bearing is used where heavy radial loads occur simultaneously with axial forces. Typical applications can be found in industrial gearboxes and drive systems in mechanical engineering. As single-row tapered roller bearings, by design, can only accommodate axial forces in one direction, designers usually install the components in pairs in an O or X arrangement with a mating bearing. This arrangement provides precise support for shafts and accommodates alternating axial loads.

What are the advantages of the sheet steel cage in the 32322 tapered roller bearing?

The integrated sheet steel cage maintains a uniform spacing between the tapered rollers and prevents direct contact between the rolling elements. This reduces internal friction and minimises heat build-up during continuous operation. Furthermore, the use of steel allows for a wide range of applications at operating temperatures from -30 to +120 °C. During assembly, attention must be paid to the axial bearing clearance, which is only precisely adjusted during installation by aligning the bearing against the mating bearing.
