Product Overview: The 32211 Tapered Roller Bearing
The 32211 Tapered Roller Bearing is a robust, high-performance component designed to handle demanding industrial and automotive applications. As a key part of our 32200 Series of Tapered Roller Bearings, this product is engineered to accommodate heavy combined (radial and axial) loads. Its principal dimensions are a 55mm bore diameter, a 100mm outer diameter, and a total width of 26.75mm. The unique tapered geometry of the rollers and raceways ensures true rolling motion and low friction, making it an essential component for machinery requiring high precision and durability.
The design of the 32211 bearing allows for the cup (outer ring) and the cone assembly (inner ring, rollers, and cage) to be mounted separately. This separability simplifies installation, removal, and maintenance procedures. These bearings are particularly effective in applications like vehicle wheel hubs, gearboxes, and industrial machinery where both radial and thrust forces must be managed simultaneously.
Key Features of the 32211 Bearing
- Tapered Design: Engineered with tapered inner and outer ring raceways and rollers to effectively manage simultaneous radial and axial loads in one direction.
- High Load Capacity: The line contact between rollers and raceways provides a high load-carrying capacity, ideal for heavy-duty applications.
- Separable Components: The cone (inner ring assembly) and cup (outer ring) are detachable, simplifying mounting, dismounting, and inspection.
- Low Friction: Precision engineering of the roller and raceway profiles ensures optimal load distribution, minimizing friction and heat generation.
- Enhanced Rigidity: Can be set with a preload to achieve a high degree of system rigidity, crucial for precision machinery like machine tool spindles.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel for exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and long service life.
Common Applications
- Automotive Transmissions and Differentials: Provides reliable support for gears and shafts, handling the high loads and speeds involved.
- Vehicle Wheel Hubs: A standard choice for front and rear wheel assemblies in cars, trucks, and trailers.
- Agricultural Machinery: Used in gearboxes, axles, and attachments for tractors, combines, and other farm equipment.
- Construction and Mining Equipment: Ideal for heavy machinery like excavators, loaders, and crushers that operate under extreme conditions.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Ensures smooth and reliable operation in various industrial power transmission systems.
- Rolling Mills: Supports the rollers in steel and metal processing plants, withstanding immense pressures and high temperatures.
- Machine Tool Spindles: Delivers the high precision and rigidity required for accurate cutting and grinding operations.
Benefits of Using the 32211 Bearing
