Description
SKF PER.32018X is a tapered roller bearing reference, within Bearings. Request a quote for PER.32018X via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.
SKF tapered roller bearings are components designed to support simultaneous radial and axial loads. Their cone geometry allows linear contact that distributes the load better, ideal for applications with combined forces and controlled misalignment. At MR Accesorios Industriales we supply this line for the Argentine market, with technical advice so you can choose the correct part number for your equipment.
The designation of this series is read from the code PER. followed by a four- or five-digit number and the suffix X. For example, PER.32018X indicates a tapered roller bearing with standardized dimensions according to series 32018, and the letter X indicates a specific design variant, generally linked to the contact angle or the edge design. The number is not an internal MR code, but follows the ISO standard for tapered bearing dimensions. When requesting a quote, provide the complete code exactly as it appears on the drawing or on the equipment's identification plate.
These bearings are used in industries such as food, cement, mining, oil and in aggregate processing plants. In Argentina they are commonly found in gear reducers, conveyor belts, mills, mixers, high-flow centrifugal pumps and road equipment. They also appear in the agricultural sector, in seeders and harvesters, where combined loads and dusty conditions demand a robust bearing with good sealing. The ability to support axial load in one direction makes them suitable for tandem or opposed mounting arrangements.
To select correctly, take into account the radial and axial load the equipment must support, the rotation speed and the type of lubrication. Mounting requires precise alignment between the cone and the cup, since excessive misalignment shortens service life. Verify the axial clearance recommended by the equipment manufacturer and adjust with shims or nuts as applicable. If the environment has dust or moisture, choose variants with integrated seals. Lubrication can be grease or oil; in high-speed applications, oil with forced circulation is preferable.
Regarding equivalences, tapered roller bearings are manufactured under international standards that allow part numbers to be interchanged between different brands when dimensions and contact angle match. However, not all suffixes are equivalent: a letter X in one brand may not have the same meaning in another. Therefore, before replacing a bearing, compare the main dimensions (bore, outer diameter and width) and consult with our technical team. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can guide you to find the right option among the brands we supply.
If you already have the part number of the bearing you need, send it via WhatsApp along with a photo of the plate or drawing. Our technical team verifies the designation and replies with the quote. We work with leading brands and also with in-house manufacturing in other lines, always backed by more than 80 years in the Argentine industrial market.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the X suffix mean in a tapered roller bearing?
- The X suffix usually indicates a design variant of the bearing, such as a modified contact angle or special edge treatment. It is not a universal code: each manufacturer may assign it a different meaning. Therefore, when requesting a quote, provide the complete code and, if possible, the main dimensions.
- How do I know if an SKF tapered roller bearing is interchangeable with another brand?
- Interchangeability depends on the main dimensions (bore, outer diameter and width) and the contact angle matching. Although ISO standards facilitate equivalence, suffixes may vary between brands. Consult us with the original code and we will help you verify compatibility before replacing.
- What lubrication is recommended for tapered roller bearings in a dusty environment?
- In dusty environments, high-viscosity grease with anti-wear properties is recommended and, if possible, bearings with integrated seals to prevent contamination. Relubrication frequency depends on speed and operating temperature. For severe applications, consult with our technical team.
