32209 Bearing Dimensions

Tolerances and fits for 32209

FULI makes 32209 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 45 × 85 × 24.75 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 / −120 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 45 m5 for the shaft of 32209. 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 32209 on a 45 mm m5 shaft has 9 to 32 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).

32209 compared with nearby sizes

32209 measures 45 × 85 × 24.75 mm: bore d, outside diameter D and total width T. Other tapered roller bearings on this site for the same 45 mm shaft are 32009 (45 × 75 × 20 mm), 33109 (45 × 80 × 26 mm), 30209 (45 × 85 × 20.75 mm), 30309 (45 × 100 × 27.25 mm) and 32309 (45 × 100 × 38.25 mm).

30309 is the next heavier choice for a 45 mm shaft, with an outside diameter 15 mm larger (100 mm) and 2.5 mm more width (27.25 mm). In FULI's catalog 30309 has a dynamic load rating of 108.90 kN against 80.70 kN and a weight of about 0.987 kg against 0.573 kg for 32209.

30209 is the lighter option on the same shaft, with the same 85 mm outside diameter and 4 mm less width (20.75 mm), for housings with less room. In FULI's catalog 30209 has a dynamic load rating of 67.90 kN against 80.70 kN and a weight of about 0.473 kg against 0.573 kg for 32209.

In the 322 series the sizes either side of 32209 are 32208 for a 40 mm shaft and 32210 for a 50 mm shaft.

32209 weight, load ratings and speed

FULI's catalog gives the weight of 32209 as about 0.573 kg, so 100 bearings weigh about 57.3 kg and 1,000 about 573 kg before packing. The weight is for the cone and cup together.

32209 has a dynamic load rating Cr of 80.70 kN and a static load rating C0r of 104.00 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.

32209 cone and cup

32209 is supplied as a complete bearing: the cone (inner ring with rollers and cage) and the cup (outer ring). The total width T of 24.75 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 32209 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.

32209 dimensions in inches

The nearest common inch shaft size to the 45 mm bore of 32209 is 1-3/4 in (44.45 mm), 0.55 mm smaller than the bore, so 32209 would be loose 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 32209

FULI supplies tapered roller bearings rust-protected and normally without grease; grease is added when 32209 is mounted. Relubricating 32209 from the side takes about 10.5 g each time by the formula in our grease calculator: 0.005 × D × T = 0.005 × 85 × 24.75.

How FULI supplies 32209

The standard 32209 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 (24.75 mm for 32209) 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 32209.
