Tapered Roller Bearings FAG 32232

Due to its tapered raceways, this single-row bearing can accommodate high radial loads and, at the same time, axial forces from a single direction. If axial forces act from alternating directions, fit a second tapered roller bearing in a mirror-image configuration as a counter-bearing. The line contact between the rolling elements ensures high rigidity of the entire shaft bearing arrangement.

The classification as P0, PN or ABEC 1 denotes the standard tolerance class for rolling bearings. It defines the permissible dimensional and geometric deviations of the rings. For the vast majority of industrial drive and machinery applications, this tolerance class offers reliable concentricity whilst maintaining a cost-effective design.

The permissible operating range is from -30 to +120 degrees. This range covers typical ambient conditions as well as normal operating temperatures in industrial plants. When selecting the appropriate lubricating oil or grease, you should ensure that the lubricant is approved for the same temperature range.

The sheet steel cage guides the tapered rollers along the inner ring raceway and prevents the rollers from coming into direct contact with one another. Compared with some plastic cages, the sheet steel version can withstand higher temperatures and remains resistant to many lubricant additives. Furthermore, the slim cage design leaves sufficient space for the lubricant.

As the outer ring can be removed separately from the inner ring with its roller cage, fit both bearing components onto the shaft and housing independently of one another. This makes mechanical assembly considerably easier. You can then set the final operating clearance by adjusting the axial alignment against a second roller bearing.
