The NSK 32206 Tapered Roller Bearing is a high-quality metric series tapered roller bearing designed to handle combined radial and axial loads in automotive and mechanical systems. Built with precision steel rollers and separable cone & cup design, this bearing ensures smooth performance and long service life in demanding rotating applications.

Technical Specifications

NSK’s 32206 is a separable tapered roller bearing with a cone and cup design that allows easy installation and preload adjustment.

Automotive Compatibility (OEM Reference Fitment)

The NSK 32206 matches several OEM part numbers used in vehicle assemblies such as hubs, differential supports, and axle bearings. These codes are standard references in parts catalogs — tools like VIN lookup or OEM parts databases use these specific codes rather than customer-friendly bearing codes.

Known OEM Bearing Part Numbers Matched by 32206:

👉 These part numbers indicate this bearing is used in Nissan and GM assemblies where a metric tapered bearing of this size is required.

📌 Because automotive OEM catalogs use their own part numbering systems, the correct way to confirm fitment is to match your vehicle’s OEM part number (e.g., 38120-18000) in a parts database or with a dealer parts lookup. This ensures exact model/year compatibility before ordering.

Where It’s Used (Common Applications)

🚗 Automotive Systems

Although there isn’t a single published list of “models and years” tied to the 32206 code itself, when a vehicle’s service manual calls for any of the OEM codes listed above, NSK 32206 is the correct replacement. Typical usage includes:

• Front or rear wheel hubs

• Differential pinion or side support bearings

• Axle shaft support bearings

• Transmission intermediate shaft bearings

These applications are typically found on vehicles like Nissan passenger cars and light trucks where the OEM bearing codes above appear in parts diagrams — confirm with your VIN/parts catalog for your exact year and trim.

🏭 Industrial & Mechanical Applications

NSK 32206 is also widely used in non-automotive mechanical systems requiring the same bearing size, such as:

✔ Motor shafts and gear reducers
✔ Conveyor drives
✔ Pumps and compressors
✔ Material handling equipment

Its metric tapered design makes it ideal for systems with combined radial and axial load demands.

Features & Benefits

✔ High Load Capacity: Designed to support both radial and axial forces efficiently.
✔ Separable Design: Easy mounting and preload adjustment.
✔ ISO Standard Size: Interchangeable with metric 32206 bearings from leading brands (SKF, NTN, KOYO).
✔ Versatile Usage: Fits automotive hubs, differentials, and industrial rotating assemblies.
