Tapered Roller Bearings SKF 32216

The SKF 32216 tapered roller bearing, a single-row rolling bearing with an 80 mm bore, can withstand high combined radial and axial loads.

With the 32216 tapered roller bearing, you get a complete roller bearing in the SKF Explorer design for demanding bearing applications. The design features a bore of 80 mm, an outer diameter of 140 mm and a width of 35.25 mm. A characteristic feature of this design is its ability to accommodate both radial and single-direction axial loads simultaneously. The component meets tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1 and is suitable for operating temperatures ranging from –30 to +120 degrees Celsius.

For which load combinations is the 32216 tapered roller bearing designed?

The 32216 tapered roller bearing is primarily used in bearing arrangements where high radial loads are combined with axial forces in one direction. Typical applications include shaft bearings subject to combined loads and single-sided axial guidance. As a single tapered roller bearing can only accommodate axial loads in one direction, in practice they are usually fitted in pairs, facing each other. The separable bearing rings simplify the separate installation of the inner and outer rings into the housing and shaft.

What is the function of the sheet steel cage and the tolerance class in the 32216 tapered roller bearing?

The integrated sheet steel cage guides the tapered rolling elements evenly along the raceways and withstands mechanical loads. The standard tolerance P0/PN (ABEC 1) version offers defined dimensional and concentricity tolerances for common mounting conditions. As the bearing is of open design, the bearing housing requires an external seal to protect against contamination. The lubricant and lubrication intervals are tailored to the operating conditions within the temperature range of -30 to +120 degrees Celsius.
