How to Select Suitable Tapered Roller Bearings for Pickup Trucks? (2)

3.Choosing Bearings by Pickup Truck Type

(1) Light-Duty Pickups (Payload ≤ 1 ton, mainly for urban commuting)

Requirements:Focus on cost-effectiveness and low noise, with relatively low load demands.

Recommendation:Standard-series tapered roller bearings (e.g., 30200 series) with steel sheet cages (J) and double rubber seals (2RS) are sufficient for daily use.

(2) Medium-Duty Pickups (Payload 1–2 tons, suitable for both urban and rural transport)

Requirements: Moderate load capacity with good impact resistance.

Recommendation: Medium-width series bearings (e.g., 32200 series) with brass cages (M) or reinforced steel sheet cages. Seal type should be selected according to road conditions — use 2RS for dusty environments.

(3) Heavy-Duty / Off-Road Pickups (Payload > 2 tons, often driven on unpaved roads)

Requirements: High load capacity, excellent impact resistance, and strong contamination protection.

Recommendation: Wide-series bearings (e.g., 32300 series) with larger and more numerous rollers, brass cages, and a double metal shield plus sealing lip design (e.g., ZNR structure). Pair with high-temperature, heavy-duty grease to enhance reliability in rough and harsh environments.
