Product Overview: The 31332 Tapered Roller Bearing
The 31332 bearing is a robust, single-row tapered roller bearing engineered to handle substantial combined radial and axial loads. As a key component in our 31300 Series and the broader Tapered Roller Bearings collection, it is designed for exceptional durability and performance in demanding industrial and automotive applications. Its principal dimensions are a 160mm bore diameter, 340mm outer diameter, and a 78mm width. The unique tapered design of the rollers and raceways ensures true rolling motion, minimizing friction and extending the bearing's service life even under heavy loads and high speeds.
This bearing's separable design, with a distinct cone (inner ring with roller cage assembly) and cup (outer ring), simplifies the mounting and maintenance process. The 31332 is an essential component for machinery requiring high load capacity and rigidity, making it a reliable choice for a wide range of heavy-duty equipment.
Key Features of the 31332 Bearing
- High Load Capacity: Engineered to accommodate significant radial and axial loads in a single direction.
- Tapered Geometry: The tapered raceways and rollers create a design that efficiently manages combined loads and provides high rigidity.
