TIMKEN K series tapered roller bearings are double row units that combine two cones and a common cup, or two matched assemblies, depending on the design. They are used where combined radial and axial loads must be absorbed with high load capacity and rigidity, for example in gearboxes, machine shafts and transmission equipment. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies them in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and advises you on choosing the correct assembly.
The designation of this family starts with the letter K followed by a five-digit number, such as K37425, K37625 or K160046. That K identifies the assembled double row tapered roller assembly: two matched cones on a single cup or two cups depending on the mounting. The 2TS-IM, 2TS-DM and 2S series group different variants of matching and row arrangement. To interpret each reference, it is best to read the complete code together with the drawing or the equipment position, because the number refers to a specific assembly and not to an isolated dimension.
These bearings appear in gearboxes, reducers, transmission shafts, mining, grinding, steelmaking and road machinery equipment operating in Argentina. They are also found in machine tool spindles and heavy transport rollers, where the double row allows the load to be distributed and shaft precision to be maintained. In cement, food and oil plants they are used to support combined loads with controlled misalignment. If the equipment operates with shock or vibration, the double row tapered series is usually the option with greater rigidity.
To select the assembly, take into account the radial and axial load, the rotation speed, the internal clearance and the type of sealing or protection required by the environment. Mounting requires proper alignment of the cups and cones, lubrication with the indicated grease or oil and control of the axial tightening, because excessive adjustment raises the temperature and a loose one generates clearance and wear. Also check the condition of the shaft and the housing before replacing: a damaged race shortens the life of the new bearing.
Among brands, double row tapered roller bearings are interchanged by catalogue number and by standardized dimensions, but each manufacturer has its own series and suffixes. Therefore, when you request an equivalent, provide the complete code and the dimensions of the old assembly or the equipment drawing. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies TIMKEN as an official brand and can indicate the compatible alternative within the same family. If you do not see the reference you are looking for, write to us on WhatsApp with the code or model and we will quote it shortly.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the K mean in a TIMKEN tapered roller bearing?
- The initial K identifies double row tapered roller assemblies, made up of two matched cones and one or two cups depending on the design. The number that follows refers to a specific assembly in the catalogue, not to a loose dimension. Provide the complete code to quote it.
- How do I request an equivalent for a double row tapered roller bearing?
- Send the complete code, the assembly dimensions and, if possible, the drawing or a photo of the position by WhatsApp. With that data we will indicate the compatible alternative within the same family and quote it shortly.
- What should I check when mounting a double row tapered roller bearing?
- The alignment of cups and cones, the axial clearance, the lubrication and the cleanliness of the housing. Excessive tightening heats the assembly and a loose adjustment generates clearance. Also check the condition of the shaft before installing the new bearing.
