Tapered Roller Bearings FAG 32006 -X

The FAG 32006-X tapered roller bearing (30x55x17 mm) accommodates combined radial and axial loads in industrial bearing arrangements.

The FAG 32006-X tapered roller bearing is manufactured as an open, single-row roller bearing in a standard design. With a bore of 30 mm, an outside diameter of 55 mm and a width of 17 mm, the bearing is suitable for high-load shaft mountings. The assembly consists of the inner ring, complete with a set of rollers and a cage, as well as the outer ring, which can be fitted separately. Due to the angular arrangement of the tapered rolling elements, the design transmits both radial forces and unilateral axial forces.

In which installation situations is the 32006-X tapered roller bearing used?

This design is primarily used for combined loads where radial forces occur alongside axial forces. Typical applications include gearbox shafts, axle drives and general machine bearings. As a single-row tapered roller bearing can only accommodate axial loads in one direction, it is usually fitted in pairs with a mirror-image mating bearing. This arrangement ensures precise guidance of the shaft when axial forces act on both sides.

What is the function of the sheet steel cage in the 32006-X tapered roller bearing?

FAG fits this rolling bearing with a sheet steel cage. The cage keeps the tapered rollers at a uniform distance apart and prevents direct contact between adjacent rolling elements as they rotate. Together with its design for a temperature range of –30 to +120 degrees, the unit is suitable for a wide range of operating conditions. The bearing meets the specifications of tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1 and thus fulfils the standard precision requirements for industrial and spare parts applications.
