Product Overview: The 32024 Tapered Roller Bearing
The 32024 Tapered Roller Bearing is a robust and versatile component engineered to manage heavy combined radial and axial loads. With dimensions of 120x180x38mm, this single-row bearing is part of our extensive 32000 Series within the Tapered Roller Bearings category. Its unique design, featuring tapered inner and outer ring raceways and tapered rollers, allows it to handle high loads from one direction. The separable design, with a distinct cone (inner ring, rollers, and cage) and cup (outer ring), simplifies the mounting and dismounting process, making it a practical choice for a wide array of industrial and automotive applications.
Key Features of the 32024 Bearing
- Combined Load Capability: Expertly designed to accommodate both high radial and axial (thrust) loads in a single direction.
- Separable Components: The cone and cup can be mounted independently, which simplifies installation, inspection, and maintenance procedures.
- High Load Capacity: The line contact between the rollers and raceways allows for the distribution of heavy loads, ensuring excellent performance and durability.
- Adjustable Clearance: Can be set with a specific axial clearance or preload during mounting to optimize performance for various application requirements.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-quality, case-hardened bearing steel for superior wear resistance and long operational life under demanding conditions.
- Low Friction Operation: Precision engineering of the roller and raceway geometry minimizes friction, reducing heat generation and improving efficiency.
Common Applications
