Tapered Roller Bearings SKF 32008 X

The SKF 32008 X single-row tapered roller bearing, measuring 40x68x19 mm, can accommodate both high radial loads and unilateral axial loads simultaneously.

The SKF 32008 X tapered roller bearing is a standard, separable roller bearing designed for industrial use. With a bore of 40 mm, an outside diameter of 68 mm and a width of 19 mm, the component supports rotating shafts. The integrated sheet steel cage guides the tapered rollers along the raceways. As a variant of the Explorer performance class, the bearing features optimised contact surfaces that support the formation of the lubricating film during operation.

In which installation scenarios does the 32008 X tapered roller bearing accommodate axial forces?

This tapered roller bearing accommodates combined loads consisting of radial and single-sided axial forces. As single-row tapered roller bearings, by their design, can only accommodate axial forces in one direction, users typically mount these bearings in pairs, facing each other. Such arrangements are suitable for bearing arrangements subject to high radial forces and single-sided guiding forces. Within a temperature range of -30 to +120 degrees, the bearing retains its dimensional stability thanks to its metallic construction.

What is the function of the sheet steel cage in model 32008 X?

The cage, made from stamped sheet steel, maintains an even spacing between the conical rolling elements and prevents direct contact between the rollers. Manufactured to tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1, the component meets defined standard requirements for concentricity and dimensional accuracy. As the outer ring can be removed separately from the pre-assembled inner ring set, installation into bearing seats and the adjustment of axial bearing play are straightforward.
