Tapered Roller Bearings FAG 33217

The FAG 33217 tapered roller bearing, with dimensions of 85 × 150 × 49 mm, is designed to accommodate combined radial and axial loads in machinery and gearbox construction.

The FAG 33217 tapered roller bearing is designed as a single-row bearing for demanding industrial applications. Thanks to its dimensions – a bore of 85 mm, an outside diameter of 150 mm and a width of 49 mm – the bearing can withstand high radial forces as well as unidirectional axial forces. The scope of supply for this complete tapered roller bearing comprises the inner ring with roller cage and the matching outer ring. The design complies with standard tolerance class P0 or ABEC 1.

What is the 33217 tapered roller bearing suitable for in industrial plant?

This tapered roller bearing is primarily used in mechanical engineering and gearbox construction. Wherever combined loads consisting of radial forces and axial thrust forces occur, the tapered design provides a rigid bearing arrangement. As single-row designs, by their very construction, can only accommodate axial forces in one direction, designers frequently combine the component with a second, mirror-image bearing mounted on the shaft. The permissible temperature range is from –30 to +120 degrees Celsius.

What are the distinctive features of the sheet steel cage and the separable design?

The integrated sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements and maintains an even spacing between the rollers. A key feature of this rolling bearing is its ability to be dismantled: the outer ring can be fitted independently of the inner ring, together with the set of rollers. This facilitates installation and the precise adjustment of the axial clearance within the housing. During design, care must be taken to ensure a suitable housing seal and lubrication supply, as the bearing is of an open design.
