When maintenance engineers at a German automotive plant recently struggled to identify replacement bearings for their conveyor systems, [Brand Name]'s tapered roller bearing numbering system chart provided the instant clarity they needed. As a leading industrial bearing supplier with warehouses in Rotterdam and Dubai, we specialize in decoding complex bearing specifications for OEMs across Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

Industry Challenges in Bearing Identification

Modern tapered roller bearings follow intricate numbering systems that combine:

  • Dimension series codes (e.g., 30200, 32200)
  • ISO 355 standardized measurements
  • Manufacturer-specific prefixes/suffixes

Common pain points include:

  • Mismatched replacements causing 23% of premature bearing failures (2023 Bearing Industry Report)
  • Incompatibility with ABMA/ANSI standards in North American imports
  • Confusion between metric and inch series bearings

Technical Parameters Comparison

Series CodeCone Width (mm)Cup AngleDynamic Load Rating
3020022.2512°112 kN
3220026.2515°158 kN

Quality Assurance Process

Our bearings undergo:

  • 100% dimensional verification per ISO 492:2014
  • Rockwell hardness testing (HRC 58-64)
  • Vibration analysis (ISO 15242-2:2015)

Certifications include:

  • ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management
  • DNV-GL marine approval
  • REACH compliance for EU markets

Regional Application Cases

Middle East: 15,000 sets of 32216 bearings for oil drilling equipment (2023)

Southeast Asia: Custom 30205 series for electric vehicle gearboxes (Q2 2024)

Procurement Q&A

Q: How to identify Chinese vs Japanese bearing codes?

A: Japanese bearings typically include JIS B markings, while Chinese codes follow GB/T 307.1 standards.

Q: What's the HS Code for tapered roller bearings?

A: 8482.20 for most industrial applications (check local variations).
