Tapered Roller Bearings FAG 32044 -X

The 32044-X tapered roller bearing from FAG Rolling Bearings, with dimensions of 220 × 340 × 76 mm, is designed to accommodate a combination of high radial and axial loads.

As a complete, single-row roller bearing in standard design, the 32044 -X tapered roller bearing transmits radial forces together with axial forces acting on the component from a single direction. FAG Wälzlager equips this bearing with a sheet steel cage, which guides the rolling elements in an organised, aligned arrangement. The bearing is manufactured to tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1, thereby meeting standard requirements for dimensional and concentricity accuracy.

What design features characterise the 32044-X tapered roller bearing?

The geometric design of this tapered roller bearing is based on the conical raceways of the inner and outer rings, as well as the conical rolling elements. The apexes of the conical surfaces intersect on the common axis of rotation, which promotes uniform rolling of the rolling elements. As the bearing is not self-retaining, the outer ring can be fitted separately during assembly, which facilitates fitting into housings and onto shafts.

What application requirements does the 32044-X tapered roller bearing meet?

This single-row roller bearing is used where precise guidance is required under combined mechanical loads. As a single bearing, by its very design, can only support axial forces in one direction, it is usually fitted in conjunction with a second tapered roller bearing. By positioning the bearings opposite each other in an O or X arrangement, the bearing clearance can be adjusted and precise shaft guidance achieved in both directions.

What function does the sheet steel cage fulfil during operation?

The fitted sheet steel cage maintains an even spacing between the tapered rollers and prevents direct contact between the rolling elements, thereby reducing friction losses. Designed for a temperature range of -30 to +120 degrees, this standard version is suitable for thermal operating conditions in continuous industrial use.
