Tapered Roller Bearings FAG 33216

The FAG 33216 single-row tapered roller bearing, with dimensions of 80 × 140 × 46 mm, can accommodate high radial loads as well as axial loads on one side.

The 33216 tapered roller bearing is a separable roller bearing designed for demanding industrial applications. It consists of an inner ring with a roller cage and a removable outer ring. The design features tapered rolling elements on inclined raceways, enabling forces to be transmitted in combination. This complete FAG roller bearing is supplied in the standard version with a sheet steel cage. You use this component in shaft mountings where, in addition to radial forces, significant axial guidance forces act in one direction.

In which designs is the 33216 tapered roller bearing used?

Typical applications for the 33216 tapered roller bearing are in shaft mountings in general mechanical engineering. As single-row tapered roller bearings, by their design, can only accommodate axial forces in one direction, they are usually fitted in pairs in an O or X arrangement. In this way, they support shafts on both sides. Thanks to the line contact of the tapered rollers, the bearing offers high rigidity against combined loads.

What role do the sheet steel cage and tolerance class P0 play in the selection process?

The integrated sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements and is suitable for operating temperatures ranging from –30 to +120 degrees Celsius. This design covers a wide range of temperatures in industrial drives. The bearing complies with tolerance class P0 or ABEC 1 and thus meets the standard tolerances. As the inner and outer rings can be fitted separately, this significantly simplifies fitting into housings and onto shafts with a diameter of 80 mm.
