Product Overview: The 32217 Tapered Roller Bearing
The 32217 bearing is a high-capacity, single-row tapered roller bearing engineered to handle significant combined loads. With principal dimensions of 85mm bore diameter, 150mm outer diameter, and 38.5mm thickness, this component is a key part of our 32200 Series within the broader Tapered Roller Bearings collection. Its design, featuring a separable cup and cone assembly, makes it ideal for applications requiring robust support for both radial and axial forces in one direction. The tapered geometry of the rollers and raceways ensures true rolling motion and low friction.
As a premier supplier of industrial and automotive components, we guarantee that our 32217 bearings meet stringent industry standards for performance and durability. This bearing is indispensable in heavy-duty machinery where reliability under stress is critical. Its separable nature simplifies installation, removal, and maintenance procedures, making it a practical choice for complex assemblies.
Key Features of the 32217 Bearing
- Separable Design: The inner ring with roller and cage assembly (cone) can be mounted separately from the outer ring (cup), simplifying installation and inspection.
- High Load Capacity: Engineered to accommodate heavy radial and axial loads simultaneously in a single direction.
- Tapered Geometry: Reduces friction and heat generation, leading to improved operational efficiency and extended service life.
- Logarithmic Roller Profile: Optimizes stress distribution along the contact surfaces, preventing edge stress peaks and increasing bearing longevity.
- Precision Manufacturing: Guarantees tight dimensional and geometric tolerances for consistent and reliable performance.
- Durable Construction: Fabricated from high-purity, hardened bearing steel for exceptional wear resistance and strength.
