How to read FAG 23160-BEA-XL-K-2RSR-MB1
- 231Series
- Spherical roller bearings, 231 series. For the same bore, each series has a different outside diameter and width.
- 60Bore
- 300 mm bore: 60 × 5.
- BEA-XL-K-2RSR-MB1Suffix
- FAG suffix: it defines the variant (sealing, cage, internal clearance or other features).
23160 is the standard (ISO) basic designation: it defines the type, the series and the bore.
Description
The FAG 23160-BEA-XL-K-2RSR-MB1 bearing has a 300 mm bore, a 500 mm outside diameter and a 160 mm width (300 x 500 x 160 mm).

The spherical roller bearing is a self-aligning bearing with two rows of spherical rollers and a spherical raceway in the outer ring. It absorbs high radial loads and axial loads in both directions, and tolerates angular misalignment between shaft and housing. The FAG 231 BEA series is used in equipment where the shaft flexes or alignment is not perfect, and MR Accesorios Industriales sells it in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The designation is read in blocks. The initial number indicates the dimension series: the examples show 23160, 23164, 23168, 23172, 23176 and 23180, all from the 231 series. Then come the letters: BEA identifies the cage design and internal geometry, XL the lower-friction design generation, K the tapered bore, 2RSR the sealing on both sides and MB1 the brass cage guided by the inner ring. Read the full code before requesting a quote.
In Argentine industry these bearings appear in heavy gearboxes and gear units, mills, vibrating screens, paper machines, induced draft fans and mining and cement equipment. Also in conveyors and presses where the shaft works under bending. Because they are self-aligning, they solve assemblies with separate housings or structures that deform under load, something common in plants in Greater Buenos Aires, Argentina and the interior.
To select, start from the radial and axial load the equipment must withstand, the rotation speed and the shaft diameter. Define whether you need a cylindrical or tapered bore: the K variant is mounted on a tapered shaft or adapter sleeve and allows the radial clearance to be adjusted. The 2RSR seal is advisable in environments with dust, water or vapors; in open assemblies with oil lubrication it can be supplied without seals. Respect the initial alignment, the specified lubrication and the mounting clearance.
As for interchangeability, spherical roller bearings are compared between manufacturers by series number and by suffixes, but each brand uses its own nomenclature for cage, sealing and internal design. A FAG code is not replaced by another brand's just because of the number: dimensions, clearance, bore and cage type must be verified. If you have the equipment's original code, send it and we will cross-reference it.
To request a quote, write to us on WhatsApp with the full code, for example 23160-BEA-XL-K-2RSR-MB1, or with the designation shown on the drawing or on the old bearing. MR Accesorios Industriales replies promptly with the corresponding reference. If the equipment calls for a variant you do not see listed, send the model and we will look for it.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions of the FAG 23160-BEA-XL-K-2RSR-MB1 bearing?
- The FAG 23160-BEA-XL-K-2RSR-MB1 bearing has a 300 mm bore, a 500 mm outside diameter and a 160 mm width (300 x 500 x 160 mm). These are the standardised boundary dimensions (ISO 15) of the basic designation 23160.
- What does the K mean in the bearing code?
- The K indicates a tapered bore, generally 1:12. It is mounted on a tapered shaft or with an adapter sleeve and allows the radial clearance to be adjusted when the bearing is locked in place. If your shaft is cylindrical, you need the variant without K.
- What is the 2RSR seal for?
- The 2RSR suffix indicates sealing on both sides. It protects the bearing from dust, moisture and lubricant loss, and is useful in dirty or washdown environments. In oil-lubricated assemblies it may not be necessary.
- How do I request a quote for a FAG bearing?
- Send us on WhatsApp the full code shown on the bearing or on the equipment drawing, for example 23164-BEA-XL-K-2RSR-MB1. With that data we verify the designation and reply promptly.
