Tapered Roller Bearings FAG 32320

FAG 32320 tapered roller bearing: A single-row roller bearing with a 100 mm bore, 215 mm outer diameter and 77.5 mm width, designed to accommodate combined loads.

The FAG 32320 tapered roller bearing is a single-row roller bearing in standard design, manufactured to tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1. With a bore of 100 mm, an outer diameter of 215 mm and a width of 77.5 mm, this unit can simultaneously accommodate high radial forces and single-sided axial forces. The tapered rollers and raceways are geometrically matched so that the rollers run with low friction and distribute the loads evenly across the rolling element set.

How is the 32320 tapered roller bearing used for combined loads?

The bearing accommodates combined loads when shaft supports must handle not only significant radial forces but also axial guidance forces in one direction. As a single tapered roller bearing, by design, can only support axial forces from one side, in practice it is usually fitted in pairs in an X or O arrangement against a second bearing. This arrangement enables precise axial guidance of the shaft in both directions.

What are the distinctive features of the sheet steel cage and the temperature range?

The design features a guided sheet steel cage, which keeps the truncated tapered rollers spaced apart and is intended to prevent them from tilting during rotation. The design is rated for a temperature range of –30 to +120 degrees Celsius. This thermal range allows operation both at low ambient temperatures and under conditions of process-induced heating. During installation, care must be taken to ensure that the axial bearing clearance is correctly adjusted via the mating bearing.
