ZVL Bearing Company 32217A Tapered Roller Bearing

The ZVL Bearing Company 32217A is a single-row tapered roller bearing designed to carry combined radial and axial loads in demanding industrial equipment, automotive hubs, and gear systems. Manufactured by ZVL (ZVL-ZKL Group), it uses a separable cone and cup assembly for precise alignment and easier mounting. Key specifications include an inner diameter of 85 mm, an outer diameter of 150 mm, and an overall width of about 38.5 mm (cone width 36 mm, cup width 30 mm). The bearing material is high chromium bearing steel, and it is intended for mounting in opposing pairs to optimize load distribution. Typical applications span automotive axles, machine tools, conveyors, gearboxes, and other heavy-duty industrial machinery where high load capacity and durable rotational support are required. This model is commonly referenced alongside SKF 32217/J2/Q, FAG 32217A, and NTN 32217U as suitable replacements.
