- 302Series
- Tapered roller bearings, 302 series. For the same bore, each series has a different outside diameter and width.
- 18Bore
- 90 mm bore: 18 × 5.
- XLSuffix
- FAG suffix: it defines the variant (sealing, cage, internal clearance or other features).
30218 is the standard (ISO) basic designation: it defines the type, the series and the bore.

FAG tapered roller bearings are components designed to support combined radial and axial loads. Their cone and cup geometry allows linear contact that distributes load better and tolerates slight misalignment. They are used in applications with significant loads and moderate speeds, such as gearboxes, wheel axles and agricultural machinery. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line.
The series designation is read from its basic number and the suffixes that accompany it. In the examples, the numeric prefix identifies the single-row tapered roller series. The -XL suffix indicates the manufacturer's current design, with improvements in design and materials. The final number (02, 03, 04, etc.) indicates the size within the series, from smallest to largest. Knowing this logic lets you request the exact part number you need.
These bearings are used in industries in Argentina such as food, metallurgy, mining and agriculture. They are found in gearboxes, drive shafts, conveyor belt rollers, seeders and harvesters, and in material handling equipment. Their ability to support combined loads makes them suitable for assemblies where the shaft receives radial and axial loads at the same time, which is common in machinery exposed to demanding conditions.
To select correctly, take into account the radial and axial load the bearing must support, the rotation speed and the available space. Assembly requires careful alignment between cone and cup, and proper fitting to achieve the recommended internal clearance. Lubrication must be the one indicated for the type of service, whether grease or oil, and the sealing must protect against dust and moisture. Assembly with suitable tools and without impacts prevents premature damage.
As for equivalents, tapered roller bearings are manufactured under international standards that allow brands to be interchanged while keeping the same dimensions and load capacity. When looking for a replacement, verify that the part number and tolerances match the original. If you have doubts, the technical team at MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you to find the right option among the brands it sells.
