Tapered Roller Bearings FAG 32220

The FAG 32220 single-row tapered roller bearing, measuring 100 × 180 × 49 mm, is designed to withstand high radial and unilateral axial loads in mechanical engineering applications.

The FAG 32220 tapered roller bearing is a single-row rolling bearing designed specifically for combined radial and axial loads. With a bore of 100 mm, an outside diameter of 180 mm and a width of 49 mm, the bearing complies with standardised dimensions. The rolling elements roll along conical raceways, ensuring that the forces are distributed evenly. This promotes smooth running in demanding industrial applications and contributes to a long service life for the assembly.

What is the FAG 32220 tapered roller bearing suitable for?

This single-row roller bearing is particularly suitable for bearing arrangements subject to high radial forces and axial loads from a single direction. Typical applications include industrial gearboxes and mechanical drive units. As a single tapered roller bearing can, by design, only support axial forces in one direction, in practice it is usually paired with a second bearing arranged in a mirror-image configuration. This pairing ensures a play-free or defined preloaded guidance of shafts under high continuous loads.

What are the key considerations regarding the installation and cage design of bearing 32220?

The 32220 tapered roller bearing features a sheet steel cage that guides the rollers and is suitable for an operating temperature range of -30 to +120 degrees. A key practical advantage is its disassembly: the inner ring with its set of rollers can be fitted separately from the outer ring. This makes installation in housings and on shafts straightforward. When fitting, ensure the axial play is set precisely to achieve even load distribution during operation.
