Tapered Roller Bearings FAG 32004 -X

The FAG 32004-X tapered roller bearing, with dimensions of 20 × 42 × 15 mm, is designed to withstand high radial loads as well as unilateral axial loads in mechanical engineering applications.

The 32004-X tapered roller bearing is a single-row roller bearing from FAG Wälzlager, designed for combined loads. With an inside diameter of 20 mm, an outside diameter of 42 mm and a width of 15 mm, the component provides rigid support for rotating shafts. The tapered rollers ensure an even load distribution across the entire contact line. Design engineers use this complete tapered roller bearing as a bearing unit for assemblies subject to high radial forces.

In which designs is the 32004-X tapered roller bearing used?

This single-row tapered roller bearing accommodates high radial forces and, at the same time, unilateral axial forces. Typical applications include shaft mountings in mechanical engineering and gearbox construction where combined loads occur. As the bearing can only accommodate axial forces in one direction, in practice it is usually paired with a second bearing arranged in a mirror-image configuration. This paired arrangement ensures a play-free or preloaded guidance of rotating machine components.

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

The bearing features a sheet steel cage that guides the tapered rollers and enables operation within a temperature range of –30 to +120 degrees. Manufacture to tolerance class P0 or ABEC 1 denotes the industrial standard for dimensional and radial runout tolerances. As the inner ring, together with the set of rollers, and the outer ring can be fitted separately, installation is simplified. Within the system, the correct lubrication and precise alignment determine its function.
