Product Overview: The 32004 Double-Row Angular Contact Ball Bearing
The 32004 bearing is a high-performance component from our 3200 Series of Angular Contact Ball Bearings. With a bore diameter of 20mm, an outer diameter of 42mm, and a thickness of 16mm, this bearing is engineered to accommodate combined radial and axial loads with exceptional rigidity. Its double-row design is comparable to two single-row angular contact ball bearings arranged back-to-back but requires less axial space, making it an excellent choice for applications where space is limited but high load-carrying capacity is essential.
Manufactured to precise industry standards, the 32004 bearing provides a compact and stiff bearing arrangement capable of supporting tilting moments. Its design allows it to handle axial loads in both directions, offering superior performance in a wide range of demanding industrial and automotive applications.
