Product Overview: The 33215 Tapered Roller Bearing
The 33215 Tapered Roller Bearing is a robust and high-capacity component designed to manage both radial and axial loads simultaneously. As a key part of our 33200 Series and the broader Tapered Roller Bearings collection, this bearing is engineered for exceptional performance in demanding applications. Its unique design features a separable cone (inner ring, rollers, and cage) and cup (outer ring), which allows for easier mounting and maintenance. The tapered geometry of the rollers and raceways ensures true rolling motion and low friction, making it an ideal choice for machinery subjected to combined forces.
Manufactured to precise industry standards, the 33215 bearing provides reliable operation in a wide range of industrial and automotive environments. Its ability to handle heavy loads and maintain rigidity makes it essential for applications such as gearboxes, axle systems, and heavy machinery, ensuring longevity and operational efficiency.
Key Features of the 33215 Bearing
- High Load Capacity: Designed to accommodate heavy combined (radial and axial) loads in one direction.
- Separable Design: The cone and cup assemblies can be mounted independently, simplifying installation, inspection, and maintenance procedures.
- Low Friction Operation: The logarithmic contact profile between rollers and raceways minimizes stress peaks and reduces friction, leading to lower operating temperatures and extended service life.
- Enhanced Rigidity: Can be set with a preload to achieve a high degree of stiffness, which is crucial for precision applications like machine tool spindles.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-quality, clean bearing steel for superior durability and resistance to wear and fatigue.
- True Rolling Motion: The tapered design ensures that the rollers move in a true rolling motion, preventing slippage between the raceways and rollers.
Common Applications of 33215 Bearings
- Automotive Transmissions & Axles: Widely used in vehicle wheel hubs, differentials, and gearboxes to support heavy loads and ensure smooth power transmission.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides reliable support for gears and shafts in heavy-duty industrial reducers and transmissions.
- Agricultural Machinery: Essential for equipment like tractors, harvesters, and tilling implements that operate under harsh conditions and heavy loads.
