Tapered Roller Bearings FAG 32224

The FAG 32224 tapered roller bearing can withstand high combined radial and axial loads and has the main dimensions 120 x 215 x 61.5 mm.

The 32224 tapered roller bearing is a single-row roller bearing in standard design. The product is designed as a complete tapered roller bearing, comprising an inner ring with a set of rollers and a matching outer ring. Thanks to the tapered arrangement of the rolling elements, the bearing is suitable for combined loads where strong radial and unilateral axial forces act on the shaft simultaneously. With a bore of 120 mm and an outside diameter of 215 mm, it is designed for demanding shaft support applications in mechanical engineering.

In which applications is the 32224 tapered roller bearing used?

This tapered roller bearing is used wherever heavy loads and defined guidance accuracy are required. Typical applications include industrial gearboxes and, more generally, heavy machinery and plant engineering, particularly in highly stressed bearing locations. As single-row tapered roller bearings, by their very design, can only support axial forces in one direction, designers usually fit this component in pairs with a second bearing in an O or X arrangement. This pairing ensures play-free guidance of the shaft under varying load directions.

What role do the sheet steel cage and tolerance class P0 play in the 32224?

The integrated sheet steel cage guides the tapered rollers precisely and withstands mechanical stresses during operation. It allows operating temperatures ranging from –30 to +120 degrees, making the bearing suitable for a wide range of thermal operating conditions. The standard tolerance version (P0/PN or ABEC 1) allows for straightforward replacement where standard requirements for concentricity and dimensional accuracy apply. During installation, the outer ring can be fitted separately from the inner ring with the roller cage, which simplifies handling during assembly.
