Tapered Roller Bearings FAG 32318

The FAG 32318 tapered roller bearing, with its main dimensions of 90 × 190 × 67.5 mm, accommodates high combined radial and axial loads in demanding industrial drives.

The 32318 tapered roller bearing is a single-row roller bearing from FAG in a standard design. It transmits both radial forces and unidirectional axial loads simultaneously. Due to the line contact between the tapered rolling elements and the raceways of the inner and outer rings, this design is characterised by high load-carrying capacity and structural rigidity under operational loads. The complete bearing comprises the outer ring as a removable unit, as well as the inner ring with its pre-assembled set of rollers and sheet steel cage.

What functions does the 32318 tapered roller bearing fulfil in bearing arrangements?

Designs incorporating single-row tapered roller bearings support shafts under combined loads in machinery and industrial plant. As a single bearing set can, by design, only accommodate axial forces from one direction, it is installed in conjunction with a suitable mating bearing. In a coordinated X or O arrangement, this bearing pair enables precisely guided support, which can be adjusted during assembly to the required operating clearance or a defined preload.

What operational characteristics does the integrated sheet steel cage offer?

The integrated sheet steel cage precisely separates the rolling elements and ensures their continuous guidance along the raceways of the inner ring. The design is rated for a wide temperature range from –30 to +120 degrees and is compatible with standard lubricating oils and greases. Manufactured to the standard tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1, the component meets the standard dimensional and running accuracies required in general mechanical engineering.
