How to read FAG 231/670-BEA-XL-K-MB1
- 231Series
- Spherical roller bearings, 231 series. For the same bore, each series has a different outside diameter and width.
- /670Bore
- 670 mm bore.
- BEA-XL-K-MB1Suffix
- FAG suffix: it defines the variant (sealing, cage, internal clearance or other features).
231/670 is the standard (ISO) basic designation: it defines the type, the series and the bore.

FAG spherical roller bearings are self-aligning, double-row components designed to carry high radial loads and axial loads in both directions, even with misaligned or flexed shafts. Their spherical outer raceway and guided cage allow stable operation under demanding conditions. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line, with technical advice to select the correct part number for each application.
The series designation is read from left to right: the base number indicates the size and the dimension series; the suffix BEA defines the internal design with a brass cage and optimized machining; XL corresponds to the high load capacity execution; K indicates the tapered bore (taper 1:12); MB identifies the solid brass cage guided by the inner ring. The final digit, as in 230/500-BEA-XL-K-MB1, distinguishes execution variants within the same series. Knowing these suffixes prevents mistakes when ordering a replacement.
These bearings are used in equipment with long shafts or shafts subject to bending, where perfect alignment is not guaranteed. In Argentina they are found in conveyor belts, mills, crushers, high-flow centrifugal pumps, industrial fans and paper machines. They are also used in gearboxes and drives in mining, cement and steelmaking, where loads are high and working conditions are severe. Their self-aligning capability makes them suitable for assemblies with split housings or housings that allow some misalignment.
To select the correct bearing, take into account the radial and axial load, the rotation speed and the type of lubrication. The K tapered bore requires an adapter sleeve or a controlled interference fit; check the shaft taper before installing. The MB solid brass cage is suitable for high temperatures and shock loads. Sealing will depend on the environment: where dust or moisture is present, it is recommended to complement it with oil seals or protective plates. Initial alignment and proper lubrication extend the service life of the assembly.
When looking for equivalents, remember that each manufacturer uses its own suffixes to indicate design, cage and tolerances. A bearing from another brand with similar dimensions may not be interchangeable if the internal execution or clearance changes. Always check the complete part number and the technical specifications before replacing. MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you on the correspondence between designations, but final validation must be done with the original manufacturer's tables.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions of the FAG 231/670-BEA-XL-K-MB1 bearing?
- The FAG 231/670-BEA-XL-K-MB1 bearing has a 670 mm bore, a 1090 mm outside diameter and a 336 mm width (670 x 1090 x 336 mm). These are the standardised boundary dimensions (ISO 15) of the basic designation 231/670.
- What does the K suffix mean in the designation?
- The letter K indicates that the bearing has a tapered bore with a 1:12 taper. This allows it to be mounted on a tapered shaft or with an adapter sleeve, achieving a controlled interference fit. It is important to check the shaft taper and follow the manufacturer's instructions for mounting.
- How do I know if a bearing from another brand is equivalent?
- Matching main dimensions is not enough. You must compare the internal design, the cage type, the clearance and the tolerances. Each manufacturer's suffixes may indicate different executions. Ask us with the complete part number and we will help you verify interchangeability.
- What are the typical applications for these bearings in Argentina?
- They are used in equipment with flexible or misaligned shafts: conveyor belts, mills, crushers, high-flow pumps, fans and paper machines. They are also used in gearboxes and drives in mining, cement and steelmaking, where loads are high and conditions demanding.
