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 supplies 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 seal on both sides and MB1 the brass cage guided by the inner ring. Read the complete code before requesting a quote.

In Argentine industry these bearings appear in heavy gearboxes and reducers, mills, vibrating screens, paper machines, draft fans and mining and cement equipment. Also in conveyors and presses where the shaft works under bending. Being self-aligning, they solve assemblies with separate housings or structures that deform under load, something common in plants in Greater Buenos Aires 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 used 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 by WhatsApp with the complete 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 available alternative. If the equipment requires a variant you do not see listed, send the model and we will look for it.
