Product Overview: The 32322 Tapered Roller Bearing
The 32322 Tapered Roller Bearing is a robust, single-row bearing designed for heavy-duty applications requiring high load-carrying capacity. As a key component in our 32300 Series, this bearing is engineered to accommodate combined radial and axial loads simultaneously. Its principal dimensions are 110mm bore diameter, 240mm outer diameter, and 80mm width. The unique design of Tapered Roller Bearings features tapered inner and outer ring raceways and tapered rollers, which allows them to handle significant thrust loads in one direction alongside radial loads.
The 32322's separable design, with the cone (inner ring, rollers, and cage) and cup (outer ring) being mountable separately, simplifies installation, inspection, and maintenance procedures. This feature is particularly beneficial in large machinery where assembly can be complex. Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel, the 32322 ensures exceptional durability and performance in demanding industrial environments such as automotive, construction, and manufacturing.
Key Features of the 32322 Bearing
- High Load Capacity: Designed to support heavy combined (radial and axial) loads, making it ideal for rigorous applications.
- Single-Row Tapered Design: Efficiently manages axial loads in one direction, providing stability and precise shaft guidance.
- Separable Components: The cone and cup can be mounted independently, which greatly simplifies the assembly and maintenance process.
- Durable Steel Construction: Made from high-carbon chromium bearing steel for superior strength, wear resistance, and long service life.
- Logarithmic Roller Profile: Reduces edge stress at the roller/raceway contact, increasing reliability and lifespan under heavy loads and misalignment.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure smooth operation, reduce friction, and minimize heat generation.
Common Applications
- Automotive Axles: Widely used in wheel hub assemblies for trucks, trailers, and heavy vehicles.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides reliable support for gears and shafts in high-torque transmission systems.
- Construction Machinery: Essential for equipment like excavators, bulldozers, and cranes where heavy loads are standard.
- Agricultural Equipment: Found in tractors, combines, and other farming machinery to withstand harsh operating conditions.
