How to read FAG 23140-BE-XL
- 231Series
- Spherical roller bearings, 231 series. For the same bore, each series has a different outside diameter and width.
- 40Bore
- 200 mm bore: 40 × 5.
- BE-XLSuffix
- FAG suffix: it defines the variant (sealing, cage, internal clearance or other features).
23140 is the standard (ISO) basic designation: it defines the type, the series and the bore.
Description
The FAG 23140-BE-XL bearing has a 200 mm bore, a 340 mm outside diameter and a 112 mm width (200 x 340 x 112 mm).

The spherical roller bearing is a component designed to support high radial loads and axial loads in both directions, with self-aligning capability. Its design with two rows of spherical rollers and a spherical outer raceway allows it to compensate for angular misalignment between shaft and housing, even under shaft deflection conditions. It is used in applications where perfect alignment is not guaranteed, such as belt drives, industrial fans, conveyor belts and mining equipment. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies the FAG brand, a benchmark in precision bearings.
The BE-XL series designation is interpreted as follows: the numeric prefix (for example, 22238, 22240, 22332) indicates the size and dimension series; the BE suffix corresponds to a design with a machined brass cage, roller-guided, and the XL suffix identifies the X-life generation, with optimized surfaces that increase load capacity and service life. Examples 22238-BE-XL and 22336-BE-XL show how these elements combine: the base number defines the bore diameter and series, while BE-XL specifies design and performance characteristics.
These bearings are used in a wide variety of industries in Argentina. They are common in mining equipment, cement plants, aggregate processing plants, mills, mixers, industrial fans, conveyor belts and agricultural machinery. Their ability to withstand heavy loads and misalignment makes them suitable for applications where the shaft may deflect or where mounting is not perfectly aligned. They are also used in belt drives and in support rollers of rotary kilns.
To correctly select a spherical roller bearing, take into account the radial and axial load it must support, the rotational speed, the type of lubrication (grease or oil) and the environmental conditions. Sealing is essential: if there is dust or moisture, choose variants with seals or protective plates. Internal clearance must be suitable for the application; excessive clearance can generate vibrations and insufficient clearance can cause overheating. During mounting, ensure correct alignment and use suitable tools to avoid damage to the rings and rollers. Lubrication must be the one specified by the manufacturer and renewed according to the maintenance plan.
Regarding equivalences and interchangeability, spherical roller bearings from different manufacturers can be interchanged if the main dimensions (bore, outer diameter and width) and the design type (cage, sealing, clearance) match. However, not all suffixes are equivalent between brands; for example, the FAG BE-XL suffix may have its counterpart in other nomenclatures, but it is essential to verify the technical specifications. For replacements, it is always advisable to consult a specialist and provide the complete part number of the original bearing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions of the FAG 23140-BE-XL bearing?
- The FAG 23140-BE-XL bearing has a 200 mm bore, a 340 mm outside diameter and a 112 mm width (200 x 340 x 112 mm). These are the standardised boundary dimensions (ISO 15) of the basic designation 23140.
- What does the BE-XL suffix mean on a FAG bearing?
- The BE suffix indicates a machined brass cage, roller-guided, and XL corresponds to the X-life generation, with improvements in the contact surfaces that increase the load capacity and service life of the bearing.
- How do I choose the right spherical roller bearing for my equipment?
- To select it, consider the radial and axial load, speed, type of lubrication and environmental conditions. It is also important to define the sealing and internal clearance. If you have doubts, consult us with your application data.
- Are FAG BE-XL bearings interchangeable with other brands?
- They can be interchangeable if the main dimensions and design type match. However, suffixes are not always equivalent between manufacturers. Verify the technical specifications or consult us to ensure compatibility.
