Tapered Roller Bearings FAG 32020 -X

The FAG 32020-X tapered roller bearing, with main dimensions of 100 × 150 × 32 mm, is designed for combined radial and axial loads.

The 32020 -X tapered roller bearing is a single-row rolling bearing in standard design. FAG supplies this item as a complete tapered roller bearing, comprising an inner ring with a set of rollers and a matching outer ring. Thanks to the line contact of the tapered rolling elements, the bearing can accommodate high radial forces. At the same time, the design dissipates single-direction axial forces via the raceways. The integrated sheet steel cage guides the tapered rollers and maintains a uniform spacing between them.

In which applications does the 32020-X tapered roller bearing prove its worth?

This tapered roller bearing is primarily used where high loads occur alongside axial guidance. Typical applications include gearboxes and bearing arrangements subject to combined radial and axial forces. As a single tapered roller bearing, by design, can only accommodate axial forces in one direction, it is usually fitted in a mirror-image configuration with a second bearing. This arrangement supports the shaft in both axial directions.

What is the function of the sheet steel cage in this design?

The sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements and maintains an even spacing between the rollers. It also holds the roller ring together on the inner ring. The design allows for operation within a temperature range of -30 to +120 degrees Celsius. The bearing is manufactured to tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1. As the outer and inner rings can be separated, installation can be carried out in separate steps.
