Tapered Roller Bearings FAG 32024 -X

The 32024-X tapered roller bearing from FAG Wälzlager accommodates combined radial and axial loads, with main dimensions of 120 × 180 × 38 mm.

The 32024-X tapered roller bearing is an open, single-row roller bearing in a standard design for industrial applications. With a bore of 120 mm, an outer diameter of 180 mm and a width of 38 mm, this component accommodates simultaneously acting radial and axial forces. The integrated sheet steel cage guides the tapered rolling elements along the raceways. As it is manufactured to the standard tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1, the component fits dimensionally accurately into mating structures.

What loads and mounting situations can the 32024-X tapered roller bearing accommodate?

The bearing is used in designs where radial loads occur in conjunction with axial forces acting in one direction. The geometric coordination of the inner ring, roller set and flangeless outer ring reduces friction and promotes smooth running. As the bearing is not of a self-retaining design, the inner ring together with the roller cage and the outer ring can be fitted separately. The axial adjustment of the bearing is carried out in conjunction with a counter-bearing.

What is the function of the sheet steel cage in the 32024-X tapered roller bearing?

The sheet steel cage maintains an even spacing between the tapered rollers and ensures they are guided along the guide flange on the inner ring. This distributes the load across the contact line of the rollers. The design is specified for a temperature range of –30 to +120 degrees Celsius. As this is an open bearing without an integrated seal, the lubrication supply and housing sealing are managed via the surrounding structure.
