Description
TIMKEN 232/530YMB is a spherical roller bearing reference, within Bearings. Request a quote for 232/530YMB via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.
TIMKEN spherical roller bearings are components designed to withstand high radial loads and also axial loads in both directions, with self-aligning capability. Their design with two rows of rollers on a spherical outer raceway compensates for misalignment between shaft and housing, making them suitable for equipment with flexing or difficult mounting. They are used in heavy machinery, mills, conveyor belts and gearboxes. At MR Accesorios Industriales we quote them on WhatsApp with your part number or size.
The designation of this series combines a size number with the suffix YMB, which identifies the machined brass window cage, roller-guided, characteristic of Timken spherical roller bearings. Examples such as 230/500YMB or 230/600YMB show first the 230 dimension series and then the bore diameter in millimeters (500, 600, etc.). The suffix YMB does not change the external dimensions, but it does change the internal construction and load capacity. Learn more about this nomenclature by consulting each case on WhatsApp.
In Argentine industry, these bearings are used in applications with combined loads and possible misalignment: cement and mining mills, crushers, high-capacity conveyor belts, speed reducers, paper machines and steelmaking equipment. They also appear in large industrial fans and overhead cranes. Their ability to withstand radial and axial loads makes them versatile in continuous process plants, where reliability is key.
To correctly select a spherical roller bearing, take into account the radial and axial load, the rotational speed, the lubrication and the type of sealing. During mounting, careful initial alignment and a proper fit on the shaft and housing are essential. Lubrication can be grease or oil, depending on the application and the thermal regime. The YMB brass cage offers good strength and guidance, although compatibility with the chosen lubricant must be verified.
When replacing a spherical roller bearing, it is common to find equivalents between different brands. Although the main dimensions usually match according to standards, the internal suffixes may vary. Therefore, it is always advisable to compare the complete designation and the service conditions. At MR Accesorios Industriales we advise you to find the alternative suitable for your equipment, maintaining the original performance.
If you need a TIMKEN spherical roller bearing from this series, write to us on WhatsApp with the part number or size you are looking for. At MR Accesorios Industriales we will quote it promptly and indicate the best option for your application. We can also advise you on mounting and lubrication to extend the service life of the component.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the YMB suffix mean on a TIMKEN bearing?
- The YMB suffix indicates that the bearing has a machined brass window cage, roller-guided. This construction is typical of Timken spherical roller bearings and offers good strength and guidance in demanding applications.
- How do I read the designation 230/500YMB?
- The number 230 corresponds to the dimension series; the 500 after the slash indicates the bore diameter in millimeters (500 mm). The YMB suffix indicates the cage type. Thus, 230/500YMB is a spherical roller bearing with a 500 mm bore and a brass cage.
- Is this bearing suitable for axial loads?
- Yes, spherical roller bearings withstand high radial loads and also axial loads in both directions, although their axial capacity is lower than their radial capacity. They are suitable for applications with combined loads and possible misalignment.
