Tapered Roller Bearings FAG 32316

The FAG single-row tapered roller bearing 32316 (80 × 170 × 61.5 mm) accommodates high combined radial and axial loads in demanding industrial applications.

The FAG 32316 single-row tapered roller bearing supports rotating shafts subjected to high radial and single-sided axial forces. Thanks to the tapered geometry of the raceways and rollers, the rolling elements roll without slippage. The design as a complete tapered roller bearing comprises the inner ring with roller cage and the matching outer ring. With a bore of 80 mm, an outside diameter of 170 mm and a width of 61.5 mm, the design complies with the defined dimensions for industrial mechanical engineering.

What loads does the 32316 tapered roller bearing withstand in practice?

This roller bearing is primarily used where high load-carrying capacities and rigidity are required under combined loads. Typical applications include gearboxes, pumps or rigid shaft mountings. As single-row tapered roller bearings, by their very design, can only accommodate axial forces in one direction, they are usually fitted in pairs with a second bearing mounted in the opposite direction. This arrangement guides the shaft axially without play and absorbs alternating operating forces in a controlled manner.

What is important regarding the tolerance class and installation of the FAG bearing?

This model is manufactured to tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1, which corresponds to the standard tolerance for general mechanical engineering. The integrated sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements within a temperature range of –30 to +120 degrees Celsius. As the 32316 tapered roller bearing can be disassembled, the outer ring and inner ring assemblies can be fitted separately. During installation, the internal bearing clearance or preload is adjusted directly via the mating bearing to meet the specific operational requirements.
