FAG tapered roller bearings in the 320/22-X through 320/42-X range are separable assemblies: a cone that carries the rollers and a cup that seats separately. This design lets them take radial and axial forces at the same time, which is why they show up in gearboxes, wheel hubs, machine tool spindles and other equipment where the shaft has to stay firmly located. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and helps you confirm the right part number.

Reading the designation is straightforward once you know the pattern. The three digits form the basic series number, then a slash, then the bore in millimeters, and finally the -X suffix. So 320/22-X, 320/28-X, 320/32-X, 320/38-X and 320/42-X all share the same series and differ only in bore size. The -X marks a design variant in that series, usually tied to tolerances or small dimensional differences. The safest way to identify a bearing is to read the full number off the cone or the cup and send it to us for checking against the FAG table.

These bearings are common in automotive, metalworking, food processing and mining operations. You will find them in gear reducers, transmission cases, wheel hubs, spindles and material handling equipment. Because they handle combined radial and axial load, they suit assemblies that need a rigidly guided shaft. On a plant floor that means conveyors, mills, presses and machinery running in continuous process.

Selection comes down to the radial and axial loads, the speed of rotation and how the bearing will be mounted. Tapered roller bearings normally run in pairs, with fits applied to the cone and cup as the arrangement requires. Grease or oil both work as lubrication, and the sealing choice depends on the surroundings: dusty or damp conditions call for external seals or a protected bearing. Support alignment matters, since these bearings do not tolerate angular misalignment well, and the axial clearance should follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

Tapered roller bearings from different brands can be interchangeable when their standardized dimensions and tolerances match. What decides this is the cone and cup dimensions, not the part number alone, so check the measurements and the suffix before substituting one brand for another. MR Industrial Accessories supplies the FAG brand within its bearing line and can point you to a suitable equivalent.
