Tapered Roller Bearings SKF 32036 X

The SKF 32036 X tapered roller bearing, measuring 180 × 280 × 64 mm, offers high load-carrying capacity for combined radial and axial loads in mechanical engineering.

The 32036 X tapered roller bearing is a single-row roller bearing in the SKF Explorer performance class. It accommodates high radial and unilateral axial forces simultaneously. The tapered raceways of the inner and outer rings ensure that the tapered rollers roll with high precision. The bearing is supplied as a complete unit comprising an inner ring assembly with a roller cage and a separate outer ring, allowing both rings to be fitted independently.

What is the 32036 X tapered roller bearing suitable for?

Design engineers and maintenance personnel prefer to use this bearing design in heavy-duty gearboxes and in general heavy machinery construction for bearing arrangements subjected to combined loads. As a single single-row tapered roller bearing can only accommodate axial forces in one direction, it is usually fitted in pairs in an X or O arrangement with a second bearing mounted in the opposite direction. This design ensures rigid support for shafts that require precise guidance under high operating loads.

What are the advantages of the sheet steel cage and the Explorer design?

This bearing features a robust sheet steel cage, which maintains an even spacing between the rollers and aids targeted lubricant distribution. The permissible temperature range is from –30 to +120 degrees Celsius. The SKF Explorer specification is characterised by improved surface finishes and contact geometries on the rollers and raceways. Together with the standard tolerance class P0/PN (equivalent to ABEC 1), this provides a well-balanced basis for demanding continuous loads.
