Tapered Roller Bearings FAG 32216

The FAG 32216 tapered roller bearing, measuring 80 x 140 x 35.25 mm, provides a robust guide for combined radial and axial forces.

This single-row tapered roller bearing 32216 from FAG Wälzlager accommodates high radial forces as well as axial loads from one direction. The component consists of an inner ring with tapered rollers and a cage, as well as a separate outer ring. As it is supplied as a complete tapered roller bearing, the inner and outer rings are matched and ready for installation. The design complies with the standard tolerances of tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1 for reliable use in mechanical engineering.

What is the 32216 tapered roller bearing suitable for?

Typical applications include gearbox shafts, axle bearings and guides in industrial plant. As single-row tapered roller bearings, by their very design, can only accommodate axial forces in one direction, designers usually fit a second bearing arranged in a mirror-image configuration as a counter-guide. In this way, the bearing arrangement absorbs alternating axial loads and tilting moments. The separable design simplifies the sequential installation of the inner ring and outer ring into the surrounding housing.

What is the function of the sheet steel cage in this bearing?

The integrated sheet steel cage keeps the truncated conical rolling elements at a uniform distance apart and guides them safely along the inner ring raceway. This cage design is insensitive to lubricants and easily covers the permissible operating temperature range from -30 to +120 degrees. Furthermore, the cage allows unimpeded circulation of grease or lubricating oil between the rollers, which helps to reduce friction.
