Tapered Roller Bearings FAG 32008 -X

The 32008-X tapered roller bearing from FAG Wälzlager accommodates combined radial and axial loads and measures 40 × 68 × 19 mm.

The 32008 -X tapered roller bearing is used as a complete rolling bearing in applications where combined loads consisting of radial and axial forces act on the shaft. The design comprises an inner ring, an outer ring and a guided roller cage. Thanks to the tapered raceways, the rolling elements roll with low friction. This FAG rolling bearing model complies with tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1 and thus meets the standard accuracy requirements in mechanical engineering and gearbox construction.

In which applications is the 32008-X tapered roller bearing used?

Typical applications for this tapered roller bearing include general mechanical engineering, gearboxes and shaft mountings. As a single-row bearing can only accommodate axial forces from one direction, it is usually paired with a second bearing during operation. This arrangement ensures precise guidance of shafts whilst they are subjected to radial loads. This design proves its worth where installation space and load-carrying capacity must be balanced.

What are the characteristics of the sheet steel cage and tolerance class P0/PN?

The integrated sheet steel cage maintains a uniform spacing between the roller-shaped rolling elements and resists mechanical vibrations. The permissible temperature range extends from –30 to +120 degrees Celsius, making the bearing suitable for varying thermal conditions within enclosed housings. Tolerance class P0/PN ensures a precise fit. The outer ring can be fitted separately, which simplifies installation in split bearing seats.
