Product Overview: The 32018 Tapered Roller Bearing
The 32018 bearing is a high-performance single-row tapered roller bearing, a key component in our 32000 Series. Engineered with principal dimensions of 90x140x32mm, this bearing is specifically designed to handle substantial combined (radial and axial) loads. Its unique tapered geometry allows the load to be distributed along the rollers, making it exceptionally durable for demanding applications. The inner and outer ring raceways are tapered, and the rollers are designed to match, ensuring true rolling motion and minimizing friction.
As a premier supplier of industrial components, we provide 32018 bearings manufactured to precise industry standards for optimal performance and longevity. A notable feature of this bearing is its separable design, where the inner ring with the roller and cage assembly (the cone) can be mounted separately from the outer ring (the cup). This simplifies installation, removal, and maintenance procedures. Explore our full range of tapered roller bearings to find the ideal solution for your machinery.
Features of the 32018 Bearing
- High Load Capacity: Designed to accommodate heavy radial and single-direction axial loads simultaneously.
- Separable Design: The cone (inner ring, rollers, cage) and cup (outer ring) are separable, allowing for easier mounting and inspection.
- Low Friction Operation: The tapered design ensures true rolling motion, which reduces operational friction and heat generation.
- Enhanced Rigidity: Can be set to a specific preload to increase the rigidity of the bearing arrangement.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-quality, clean bearing steel for superior strength and wear resistance.
- Logarithmic Profile: Rollers feature a logarithmic profile to prevent stress peaks at the roller ends, extending service life.
