Tapered Roller Bearings SKF 32024 X

The SKF 32024 X tapered roller bearing, with dimensions of 120 × 180 × 38 mm, offers a high-load-capacity solution for combined radial and axial forces.

The single-row tapered roller bearing 32024 X accommodates high radial forces and unidirectional axial loads simultaneously. The tapered raceways in the inner and outer rings guide the roller sets evenly, whilst the integrated sheet steel cage ensures a fixed spacing between the rolling elements. Manufactured as a complete rolling bearing in the SKF Explorer design, this unit is designed for demanding industrial applications. The open design allows you to lubricate the bearing as required directly via the surrounding housing.

For which loads is the 32024 X tapered roller bearing suitable?

Typical applications include shaft mountings subject to combined loads, where high radial and guiding forces act simultaneously. As a single tapered roller bearing, by design, can only support axial forces in one direction, they are often mounted in pairs in an O or X arrangement. The system is designed for operating temperatures ranging from -30 to +120 degrees. Design engineers and maintenance technicians opt for this size when shafts with a diameter of 120 mm need to be supported stably.

What are the advantages of the sheet steel cage in this tapered roller bearing?

The pressed sheet steel cage holds the tapered rollers securely in place without unnecessarily restricting the bearing volume. This leaves sufficient space for lubricants, which keeps friction low during continuous operation. Thanks to manufacture to tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1, the component can be integrated precisely into standardised housings. The outer ring can be fitted separately during assembly, which facilitates installation in confined spaces.
