Product Overview: The 30326 Tapered Roller Bearing
The 30326 Tapered Roller Bearing is a robust, single-row bearing engineered to handle significant combined radial and axial loads. With a bore diameter of 130mm, an outer diameter of 280mm, and a width of 63.75mm, this component is a key part of our 30300 Series. As a premium choice within our extensive range of Tapered Roller Bearings, the 30326 is designed with conical inner and outer ring raceways and tapered rollers. This geometry allows the bearing to accommodate high loads from one direction, making it ideal for demanding industrial and automotive applications where durability and precision are essential.
The separable design of the 30326 bearing, where the cone (inner ring with roller and cage assembly) can be mounted separately from the cup (outer ring), simplifies installation, removal, and maintenance procedures. This feature also allows for precise clearance or preload settings during assembly to optimize performance for specific applications. Manufactured from high-grade bearing steel, it provides excellent reliability and a long service life under challenging operating conditions.
Key Features of the 30326 Bearing
- High Load Capacity: Designed to support heavy combined (radial and axial) loads simultaneously.
- Single-Direction Axial Load Support: Effectively accommodates high axial loads in one direction.
- Separable Design: The cone and cup can be mounted independently, facilitating easier assembly and maintenance.
- Adjustable Clearance: Allows for setting a specific axial clearance or preload by adjusting the axial position of the cone relative to the cup.
- Low Friction Operation: The logarithmic profile of the rollers reduces edge stress and minimizes friction, leading to lower operating temperatures and extended life.
- Enhanced Rigidity: Can be mounted in pairs (e.g., face-to-face or back-to-back) to create a highly rigid bearing arrangement capable of handling tilting moments.
Common Applications
- Automotive Axles and Transmissions: Widely used in wheel hubs, differentials, and gearboxes for cars, trucks, and buses.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides reliable support for gears and shafts in heavy-duty industrial transmission systems.
- Construction and Mining Equipment: Essential for machinery like excavators, loaders, and crushers that operate under extreme loads.
