Product Overview: The 33212 Tapered Roller Bearing
The 33212 Tapered Roller Bearing is a robust, single-row bearing from our 33200 Series, engineered to manage heavy combined radial and axial loads. With principal dimensions of 60x110x38mm, this bearing is designed for high-performance applications where durability and reliability are essential. Its unique construction, featuring a separable cone (inner ring with roller and cage assembly) and cup (outer ring), simplifies both mounting and maintenance procedures. The tapered geometry of the rollers and raceways allows this bearing to accommodate significant thrust in one direction, making it a cornerstone component in a wide array of industrial and automotive machinery.

Key Features of the 33212 Bearing
- High Load Capacity: Engineered to support substantial combined (radial and axial) loads, ideal for demanding operational conditions.
- Single-Row Tapered Design: Efficiently handles high axial loads in a single direction. Often mounted in pairs for counteracting axial forces.
- Separable Components: The cone and cup can be mounted independently, which simplifies installation, inspection, and maintenance routines.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure optimal performance, reduced friction, and consistent shaft guidance.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-carbon chromium bearing steel for exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and extended service life.
- Logarithmic Roller Profile: The roller profile is designed to distribute loads evenly along the contact length, reducing stress peaks at the roller ends and increasing bearing life.
Common Applications
- Automotive Transmissions and Differentials: Provides reliable support for gears and shafts, managing the high loads typical in vehicle drivetrains.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Essential for supporting gear shafts and ensuring smooth power transmission in heavy-duty industrial settings.
- Wheel Hub Assemblies: Widely used in the wheels of trucks, trailers, and agricultural vehicles due to its high load-carrying capabilities.
- Construction and Mining Equipment: Performs reliably in challenging environments such as in crushers, conveyors, and heavy machinery axles.
- Rolling Mills: Supports the rollers that shape metal, withstanding extreme pressures and temperatures.
- Agricultural Machinery: Used in tractors, harvesters, and other farm equipment that operates under heavy loads and harsh conditions.
- Wind Turbines: Supports main shafts and gearbox components, ensuring reliability in renewable energy systems.
