Tapered Roller Bearings FAG 33012

The 33012 tapered roller bearing from FAG Wälzlager, with dimensions of 60x95x27 mm, is capable of withstanding high combined radial and axial loads in industrial applications.

The 33012 tapered roller bearing is a single-row roller bearing in standard design, manufactured to standard tolerance P0/PN (corresponding to ABEC 1). Due to the line contact of the tapered rolling elements, this bearing is particularly suitable for applications in which radial forces and unidirectional axial forces act simultaneously. FAG Wälzlager equips the component with a dimensionally stable sheet steel cage that guides the rollers. The permissible temperature range is from -30 to +120 degrees.

What is the 33012 tapered roller bearing suitable for?

Due to the geometry of the tapered raceways, this design can withstand high transverse forces and unidirectional axial forces. Typical applications include bearings in general mechanical engineering where combined loads occur. As a single bearing can only accommodate axial forces from one direction, it is usually fitted in pairs in an X or O arrangement opposite a second bearing. This arrangement supports shafts without play and contributes to the rigidity of the mounting of rotating components.

What is important to consider when installing bearings with a sheet steel cage?

As a complete tapered roller bearing, the design consists of an inner ring with a set of rollers and a separate outer ring. This split design facilitates the mounting of the rings onto the shaft and housing. After insertion, fitters adjust the operating clearance or preload via the mating bearing. The sheet steel cage withstands mechanical stresses within a temperature range of -30 to +120 degrees. As this is an open design, the chosen lubricant and external housing seals determine the level of protection against contamination.
