Product Overview: The 24032 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 24032 Spherical Roller Bearing is a high-capacity component engineered for the most demanding industrial environments. As a key part of our 24000 Series, this bearing belongs to the family of Spherical Roller Bearings, renowned for their ability to handle heavy radial and axial loads. With principal dimensions of 160x240x60mm, it features two rows of symmetrical barrel rollers and a common sphered outer ring raceway, which allows it to accommodate significant shaft misalignment and deflection without compromising performance.
Designed for robustness and reliability, the 24032 is manufactured to precise industry standards using high-quality bearing steel. Its internal design is optimized to minimize friction and heat generation, ensuring a long and dependable service life even under severe operational stress. This makes it an essential choice for heavy machinery where reliability is paramount.
Key Features of the 24032 Bearing
- High Load-Carrying Capacity: Engineered with two rows of rollers to support very heavy radial loads and substantial axial loads in both directions.
- Superior Misalignment Compensation: The spherical outer raceway allows the bearing to self-align, compensating for angular errors between the shaft and housing.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-purity, hardened bearing steel for exceptional durability and resistance to wear and fatigue.
- Optimized for Heavy Industry: The internal geometry is designed for low friction and high performance in harsh conditions like shock loads and vibration.
- Versatile Mounting Options: Can be mounted directly on a cylindrical shaft or on a tapered shaft using an adapter or withdrawal sleeve.
- Dimensional Stability: Precision engineering ensures consistent dimensions for easy installation and interchangeability.
