31311 Bearing Dimensions

Tolerances and fits for 31311

FULI makes 31311 to P0 as standard, with P6 on request. P0 is the Normal tolerance class of ISO 492; P6 limits are tighter. These are the P0 limits for the 55 × 120 × 31.5 mm size.

Δdmp and ΔDmp: deviation of the mean bore and mean outside diameter in one radial plane. ΔTs: assembled width of cone and cup, from the ISO 492 table for metric tapered roller bearings. Cone width B and cup width C: 0 / −150 µm each.

Shaft and housing fits (general guidance)

For an inner ring that turns with a solid steel shaft under normal load, bearing makers’ fit tables give 55 m5 for the shaft of 31311. The cup usually sits in an H7 or J7 housing bore so that it can be moved when the pair is adjusted.

Taking the loosest and the tightest combination of limits, a P0 31311 on a 55 mm m5 shaft has 11 to 39 µm interference. Its cup has 0 to 53 µm clearance in an H7 bore and 13 µm interference to 40 µm clearance in a J7 bore.

This is general guidance, not a FULI specification. Heavy or shock loads, a hollow shaft, a thin-walled, split or light-alloy housing, or a large temperature difference between shaft and housing call for other classes, and the drawing of your machine takes priority.

If the outer ring turns and the shaft stands still, as in an idler pulley or a wheel hub, the fits are reversed: the housing gets the interference fit (for example N7 or P7) and the shaft a sliding one (g6 or h6).

31311 compared with nearby sizes

31311 measures 55 × 120 × 31.5 mm: bore d, outside diameter D and total width T. Other tapered roller bearings on this site for the same 55 mm shaft are 32011 (55 × 90 × 23 mm), 30211 (55 × 100 × 22.75 mm), 32211 (55 × 100 × 26.75 mm), 30311 (55 × 120 × 31.5 mm) and 32311 (55 × 120 × 45.5 mm).

32311 is the next heavier choice for a 55 mm shaft, with the same 120 mm outside diameter and 14 mm more width (45.5 mm). In FULI's catalog 32311 has a dynamic load rating of 203 kN against 129.90 kN and a weight of about 2.37 kg against 1.57 kg for 31311.

32211 is the lighter option on the same shaft, with an outside diameter 20 mm smaller (100 mm) and 4.75 mm less width (26.75 mm), for housings with less room. In FULI's catalog 32211 has a dynamic load rating of 108.00 kN against 129.90 kN and a weight of about 0.853 kg against 1.57 kg for 31311.

30213 has the same 120 mm outside diameter with a 65 mm bore, so it fits the same housing bore on a larger shaft.

32213 has the same 120 mm outside diameter with a 65 mm bore, so it fits the same housing bore on a larger shaft.

In the 313 series the sizes either side of 31311 are 31307 for a 35 mm shaft.

31311 weight, load ratings and speed

FULI's catalog gives the weight of 31311 as about 1.57 kg, so 100 bearings weigh about 157 kg and 1,000 about 1570 kg before packing. The weight is for the cone and cup together.

31311 has a dynamic load rating Cr of 129.90 kN and a static load rating C0r of 158.00 kN. Cr is the load used to work out rating life; C0r is the reference for loads carried while the bearing is stationary or turning slowly.

31311 cone and cup

31311 is supplied as a complete bearing: the cone (inner ring with rollers and cage) and the cup (outer ring). The total width T of 31.5 mm applies when the two are assembled; the cone and the cup on their own are each narrower. Tell us if you need only the cone or only the cup.

Tapered roller bearings carry radial load and axial load in one direction, so 31311 is normally mounted as one of a pair facing each other, and the end play or preload is set when the pair is adjusted on the shaft. That is why FULI lists the clearance as set during mounting, not as a C-class value.

31311 dimensions in inches

The nearest common inch shaft size to the 55 mm bore of 31311 is 2-3/16 in (55.56 mm), 0.56 mm larger than the bore, so 31311 will not go on it. Inch shafts need an inch bearing, not a metric one with a sleeve or shim.

Converted at 1 in = 25.4 mm and rounded to four decimals. The bearing itself is made to the millimetre sizes.

Grease for 31311

FULI supplies tapered roller bearings rust-protected and normally without grease; grease is added when 31311 is mounted. Relubricating 31311 from the side takes about 18.9 g each time by the formula in our grease calculator: 0.005 × D × T = 0.005 × 120 × 31.5.

How FULI supplies 31311

The standard 31311 from FULI has GCr15 chrome steel rings and rollers and P0 precision, with P6 on request. Where an order states a requirement for the total width T (31.5 mm for 31311) or the cone height, each set is checked on a height gauge.

Rings are marked with a brand you are authorised to use, with the FULI brand, or left neutral, as your order states. The box is printed with the model, precision class and brand.

Inquiries that leave out the prefix or suffix letters are the usual cause of a wrong quote, so write the full designation, for example 31311.
