Product Overview: The 32204 Tapered Roller Bearing
The 32204 bearing is a high-performance, single-row tapered roller bearing designed to handle significant combined loads. As a key component in our 32200 Series and the broader Tapered Roller Bearings collection, it is engineered for applications demanding robust support for both radial and axial forces. Its design features tapered inner and outer ring raceways and tapered rollers, allowing for true rolling motion and low friction. The 32204 is separable, with the inner ring and roller assembly (cone) mountable separately from the outer ring (cup), which simplifies installation and maintenance procedures.
Manufactured to precise industry standards, the 32204 bearing provides exceptional reliability and longevity in challenging environments. Its unique geometry ensures optimal load distribution, making it an essential part for a wide range of industrial and automotive machinery. As a leading supplier, we provide top-quality mechanical parts that meet the rigorous demands of modern equipment.
Features of the 32204 Bearing
- Combined Load Capacity: Expertly designed to accommodate heavy radial and single-direction axial loads simultaneously.
- Separable Design: The cone (inner ring, rollers, cage) and cup (outer ring) can be mounted independently, facilitating easier assembly and inspection.
- Low Friction Operation: The tapered roller design minimizes friction and heat generation, leading to enhanced operational efficiency and longer service life.
- High Rigidity: Offers a high degree of stiffness, making it suitable for applications where shaft rigidity and precise positioning are critical.
- Tapered Raceway Geometry: Ensures uniform load distribution along the rollers, preventing stress peaks and extending bearing life.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-purity, hardened bearing steel for superior wear resistance and durability under heavy loads.
Applications of 32204 Bearings
- Automotive Wheel Hubs: Commonly used in the wheel assemblies of cars, trucks, and trailers to support vehicle weight and rotational forces.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides reliable support for gears and shafts, handling the high loads and ensuring smooth power transmission.
- Agricultural Machinery: Essential in equipment like tractors, combines, and implements where components are subjected to heavy loads and harsh conditions.
- Construction Equipment: Used in heavy machinery such as cranes, excavators, and bulldozers for pivot points and transmissions.
- Axle Systems: Ideal for use in vehicle and machinery axles, supporting both the weight and the thrust forces generated during operation.
- Rolling Mills: Employed in steel and metal rolling applications to support the heavy rollers and withstand extreme pressures.
- Pumps and Compressors: Supports rotating shafts in industrial pumps, ensuring stability and efficiency under continuous operation.
