Product Overview: The 32230 Tapered Roller Bearing
The 32230 Tapered Roller Bearing is a robust, single-row bearing designed to manage high combined radial and axial loads. As a key component in our Tapered Roller Bearings collection, this bearing belongs to the versatile 32200 Series. Its separable design, featuring a separate cup and cone assembly, simplifies installation, removal, and maintenance procedures. The unique tapered geometry of the rollers and raceways ensures true rolling motion and even load distribution, making it exceptionally reliable for demanding industrial and automotive applications. With dimensions of 150mm bore, 270mm outer diameter, and 73mm thickness, the 32230 is engineered for superior performance and longevity.
Key Features of the 32230 Bearing
- High Load Capacity: Designed to accommodate heavy radial and axial loads in one direction, making it suitable for challenging environments.
- Separable Design: The inner ring with roller and cage assembly (cone) can be mounted separately from the outer ring (cup), facilitating easier installation and inspection.
- Tapered Geometry: The conical shape of the rollers and raceways allows for true rolling motion, minimizing friction and wear.
- Axial Load Accommodation: The angle of the outer ring raceway enables the bearing to handle significant axial forces.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-grade bearing steel for excellent hardness, wear resistance, and extended service life.
- Precision Engineering: Produced to strict tolerances to ensure consistent and reliable performance under load.
Common Applications
- Automotive Systems: Widely used in vehicle wheel hubs, transmissions, and differential assemblies.
- Heavy Industrial Machinery: Essential for gearboxes, rolling mills, and mining equipment where heavy loads are common.
- Agricultural Equipment: Found in tractors, harvesters, and other machinery that operates under harsh conditions.
