Product Overview: The 32215 Tapered Roller Bearing
The 32215 Tapered Roller Bearing is a robust, single-row bearing designed to handle substantial combined (radial and axial) loads. As a key component in our Tapered Roller Bearings collection, this bearing belongs to the versatile 32200 Series. Its dimensions are 75mm bore diameter, 130mm outer diameter, and 33.25mm total width. The unique tapered geometry of the rollers and raceways ensures true rolling motion, minimizing friction and heat generation, which is crucial for applications requiring high precision and durability.
This bearing's design features a separable cup (outer ring) and cone assembly (inner ring, cage, and rollers), which simplifies mounting, dismounting, and inspection procedures. The 32215 is engineered to provide high rigidity and support heavy loads, making it an essential part for a wide array of industrial and automotive machinery. Its ability to accommodate significant axial loads in one direction makes it ideal for applications where shaft guidance is critical.
Key Features of the 32215 Bearing
- High Load Capacity: Designed to withstand heavy radial and single-direction axial loads simultaneously.
- Separable Design: The cone assembly and cup are separable, allowing for easier installation, maintenance, and adjustment of internal clearance.
- Low Friction Operation: The logarithmic contact profile between rollers and raceways reduces stress peaks and ensures optimal load distribution, leading to less friction and longer service life.
- Enhanced Rigidity: Can be preloaded to achieve high stiffness, making it suitable for applications that demand precise shaft positioning.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-quality, high-carbon chromium bearing steel for exceptional hardness and wear resistance.
- Versatile Mounting Options: Can be mounted in pairs (face-to-face, back-to-back, or tandem) to handle axial loads in both directions or to increase load capacity.
