Product Overview: The 31328 Tapered Roller Bearing
The 31328 Tapered Roller Bearing is a robust, single-row bearing engineered to handle significant combined (radial and axial) loads. With principal dimensions of 140x300x62mm, this component is a key part of our 31300 Series, within the broader Tapered Roller Bearings collection. Its design features tapered inner and outer ring raceways and tapered rollers, allowing it to accommodate high loads from one direction. The separable design, where the cone (inner ring with roller and cage assembly) can be mounted separately from the cup (outer ring), simplifies installation, maintenance, and inspection procedures. This makes the 31328 an indispensable component in heavy-duty industrial and automotive applications.
Key Features of the 31328 Bearing
- Combined Load Capability: Expertly designed to manage both high radial and axial loads simultaneously in one direction.
- Separable Design: The cone and cup are separable, facilitating easier mounting, dismounting, and maintenance routines.
- High Load Capacity: The geometry and number of rollers are optimized to provide superior load-carrying capacity in a compact space.
- Logarithmic Roller Profile: Reduces edge stresses at the roller/raceway contact, increasing bearing life and reliability under heavy or misaligned conditions.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to stringent industry standards for dimensional and running accuracy, ensuring consistent and reliable performance.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-grade, clean bearing steel for exceptional durability and resistance to wear and fatigue.
Common Applications
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides robust support for gears and shafts, ensuring smooth power transmission under heavy loads.
- Automotive Axles: Widely used in wheel hubs for trucks, trailers, buses, and other heavy vehicles.
- Rolling Mills: Essential in steel and metal processing for supporting the rolls that shape materials.
- Agricultural Machinery: Found in tractors, combines, and other farm equipment that operates in demanding environments.
- Construction and Mining Equipment: Ideal for gear systems, transmissions, and axles in excavators, loaders, and haul trucks.
- Pumps and Compressors: Supports rotating shafts in heavy-duty industrial pump and compressor applications.
- Wind Turbines: Used in gearbox and main shaft applications to handle the immense forces generated.
