Product Overview: The 33216 Tapered Roller Bearing
The 33216 Tapered Roller Bearing is a high-capacity component engineered to handle substantial combined radial and axial loads. With principal dimensions of 80x140x46mm, this bearing is a key part of our 33200 Series, which falls under the broader Tapered Roller Bearings category. Its design features a separable cone (inner ring with rollers) and cup (outer ring), which simplifies installation, removal, and maintenance inspections. The tapered geometry of the rollers and raceways ensures true rolling motion and minimizes friction, making it an ideal choice for demanding industrial and automotive applications where reliability and precision are paramount.
Features of the 33216 Bearing
- High Load Capacity: Designed to accommodate heavy radial and axial loads in one direction, making it suitable for robust machinery.
- Separable Design: The cone and cup can be mounted independently, which simplifies assembly and allows for tighter fitting adjustments.
- Low Friction Operation: The logarithmic contact profile between rollers and raceways ensures optimal stress distribution and reduces friction, leading to lower operating temperatures.
- Enhanced Durability: Constructed from high-quality, case-hardened bearing steel for superior wear resistance and extended service life under harsh conditions.
- Axial Load Accommodation: Its single-row design is specifically engineered to handle significant thrust loads in one direction.
- Precise Roller Guidance: A flange on the cone guides the rollers, ensuring stability and preventing misalignment during operation.
Applications of 33216 Bearings
- Automotive Transmissions & Drivetrains: Commonly used in gearboxes, differentials, and wheel hub assemblies for cars, trucks, and buses.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides reliable support for gears and shafts in various industrial reduction units.
- Agricultural Machinery: Essential for equipment such as tractors, combines, and harvesters that operate under heavy loads.
- Construction and Mining Equipment: Used in heavy machinery like excavators, loaders, and crushing equipment where durability is critical.
