How to read FAG 240/800-BEA-XL-MB1
- 240Series
- Spherical roller bearings, 240 series. For the same bore, each series has a different outside diameter and width.
- /800Bore
- 800 mm bore.
- BEA-XL-MB1Suffix
- FAG suffix: it defines the variant (sealing, cage, internal clearance or other features).
240/800 is the standard (ISO) basic designation: it defines the type, the series and the bore.
Description
The FAG 240/800-BEA-XL-MB1 bearing has a 800 mm bore, a 1150 mm outside diameter and a 345 mm width (800 x 1150 x 345 mm).

FAG spherical roller bearings are self-aligning, double-row components designed to withstand high radial loads and axial loads in both directions, even with shafts that show flexing or misalignment. Their self-aligning design compensates for mounting errors and deflection without losing load capacity. They are used in demanding industrial applications where robustness and durability are critical, such as transmissions, pumps, fans and continuous process equipment. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line with technical support to select the right version.
The series designation with the BEA, XL and MB1 suffixes reads as follows: the number identifies the medium-width series of spherical roller bearings; BEA indicates an optimized internal design with a two-piece machined brass cage guided by the inner ring; XL indicates the X-life version, with improved contact surfaces for longer service life; MB1 corresponds to the solid brass cage. The examples 230/500-BEA-XL-MB1 and 230/530-BEA-XL-MB1 show how the bore diameter is expressed in millimeters when it exceeds a certain value. This nomenclature makes it possible to quickly identify the design features of each variant.
In Argentine industry, these bearings are used in mining, cement, steel, paper and pulp equipment, as well as in large gearboxes, mills, crushers and continuous process machines. Their ability to withstand combined loads and misalignment makes them suitable for applications where the shaft flexes or where the housings are not perfectly aligned. They are also found in industrial fans, high-flow pumps and heavy conveyors, where reliability and reduced maintenance are priorities.
To correctly select a spherical roller bearing, take into account the radial and axial load, the rotational speed, the type of lubrication and the environmental conditions. The BEA version with brass cage offers good resistance to high temperatures and shock loads. Mounting requires initial alignment and proper lubrication; in contaminated applications, consider additional seals. The XL series provides longer life thanks to tighter tolerances and better surface finish. Always verify the internal clearance and the mounting method to avoid damage.
As for equivalents and interchangeability, spherical roller bearings from different brands may differ in internal design, cage and tolerances. Although the main dimensions usually follow international standards, it is essential to verify the complete designation and the operating conditions before replacing one brand with another. Series with the BEA, XL and MB1 suffixes have equivalents from other manufacturers, but performance may vary. Consult our technical team to validate compatibility in your specific application.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions of the FAG 240/800-BEA-XL-MB1 bearing?
- The FAG 240/800-BEA-XL-MB1 bearing has a 800 mm bore, a 1150 mm outside diameter and a 345 mm width (800 x 1150 x 345 mm). These are the standardised boundary dimensions (ISO 15) of the basic designation 240/800.
- What does the designation 230/500-BEA-XL-MB1 mean?
- The 230 indicates the medium-width spherical roller series; 500 is the bore diameter in millimeters; BEA refers to the design with machined brass cage; XL is the X-life version with longer service life; MB1 indicates a solid brass cage. Each suffix provides specific features.
- Does this bearing allow shaft misalignment?
- Yes, spherical roller bearings are self-aligning and can compensate for small angular misalignments between the shaft and the housing, always within the permissible limits. This reduces stress and extends service life in applications with shaft flexing.
- How do I request a quote for a FAG bearing?
- Write to us on WhatsApp with the complete part number of the bearing you need, for example 230/560-BEA-XL-MB1. Our technical team will reply promptly with the information to move forward with the quote.
