FAG Tapered Roller Gearbox Bearing 32008-X-XL 40x68x19mm

FAG Tapered Roller Gearbox Bearing 32008-X-XL – 40×68×19mm

The FAG 32008-X-XL is a single-row tapered roller bearing with a 40mm bore, 68mm OD, and 19mm width, manufactured by Schaeffler (FAG) to OEM standards. Tapered roller bearings are designed to handle combined radial and axial (thrust) loads simultaneously, making them ideal for transmission shafts where both load types are present. The XL suffix denotes an extended inner ring for enhanced axial load capacity.

What does the XL suffix mean on a FAG tapered roller bearing?

In FAG’s catalogue, the XL suffix indicates a reinforced or extended design — typically a modified inner ring with greater axial capacity compared to the standard 32008X. Always use the correct suffix when ordering replacement bearings to ensure dimensional compatibility.

Where are tapered roller bearings typically used in a gearbox?

Tapered roller bearings are used on main shafts, differential pinion shafts, and other positions where the shaft experiences significant axial thrust in addition to radial loads. They are common in rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive transmission applications.

Is this a genuine FAG bearing?

Yes. FAG is a brand of the Schaeffler Group, a leading German precision engineering company and OEM supplier to major automotive manufacturers. Genuine FAG bearings carry full Schaeffler quality assurance.

How do I know if my gearbox bearing has failed?

Bearing failure in a gearbox typically presents as a rumbling or whining noise at certain speeds, roughness felt through the gear lever, or in severe cases, difficulty engaging gears. Failed tapered roller bearings should be replaced before secondary damage occurs to the shaft or casing.
