Tapered Roller Bearings SKF 33115

The SKF 33115 single-row tapered roller bearing (75x125x37 mm) can accommodate high radial loads as well as unilateral axial loads.

The 33115 tapered roller bearing is a separable, single-row rolling bearing in a standard design, manufactured by SKF in the Explorer performance class. With an inner diameter of 75 mm, an outer diameter of 125 mm and a total width of 37 mm, it accommodates radial forces as well as single-direction axial forces. The component is used to support rotating shafts under combined loads. The scope of supply comprises the outer ring and the inner ring with a guided roller cage, forming a complete tapered roller bearing.

In which configurations is the 33115 tapered roller bearing fitted?

Typically, the 33115 tapered roller bearing is fitted in pairs in an X or O arrangement opposite a second bearing to absorb opposing axial forces. Due to the line contact of the tapered rolling elements, the bearing arrangement can transmit higher forces than a ball bearing of the same dimensions. In this way, the shaft bearing arrangement accommodates axial loads acting from both sides and guides the rotating shaft within the housing.

What are the features of the 33115 tapered roller bearing with a sheet steel cage?

The sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly along the inner ring raceway and maintains a fixed distance between the rollers. It is manufactured to tolerance class P0/PN (corresponding to ABEC 1), which ensures a precise fit on standardised shafts and in housing bores. The component is designed for a temperature range of -30 to +120 degrees. As the inner and outer rings can be slid on separately, this simplifies installation and the adjustment of the bearing clearance during assembly.
