Tapered Roller Bearings SKF 33024

The SKF 33024 single-row tapered roller bearing, measuring 120 × 180 × 48 mm, can accommodate high radial and unilateral axial loads simultaneously.

The 33024 tapered roller bearing is an open, single-row rolling bearing for industrial drive and shaft mountings. With a bore of 120 mm, an outside diameter of 180 mm and a width of 48 mm, this component guides shafts with precision. The design enables the combined absorption of radial forces and single-direction axial forces. SKF manufactures this model in the Explorer performance class with robust sheet steel guides for demanding mechanical assemblies in mechanical engineering.

What functions does the 33024 tapered roller bearing fulfil in operation?

Design engineers and maintenance personnel primarily use the 33024 tapered roller bearing in assemblies subject to combined loads and high guiding forces. Thanks to the tapered arrangement of the rollers, the bearing safely transfers heavy loads to the machine housing. Typically, this bearing is fitted in pairs, in conjunction with a second tapered roller bearing, to accommodate axial forces in both directions. The open design allows for the flexible use of industry-specific lubricating oils or greases, depending on operating conditions.

What characteristics do the sheet steel cage and tolerance class P0 offer?

The integrated sheet steel cage keeps the tapered rollers spaced apart and allows operating temperatures ranging from –30 to +120 degrees Celsius. Manufacture to tolerance class P0 or ABEC 1 meets the standard precision requirements of mechanical engineering. As the inner ring with roller set and the outer ring can be separated from one another, the design facilitates assembly and disassembly. During installation, care must be taken to ensure the correct adjustment of the bearing clearance relative to the mating bearing.
