TIMKEN tapered roller bearings are separable units: a tapered inner raceway with its roller assembly and a tapered outer raceway. This geometry allows them to absorb combined radial and axial loads, something a deep groove ball bearing does not do with the same efficiency. They are used in pairs or in opposed arrangements, and are the usual choice when there is axial thrust and rigidity requirements in the mounting.

The designation of this family is read in blocks. The letters LM identify the section and contact angle series; the number that follows defines the size within that series, and the LA suffix distinguishes the inner or outer raceway variant depending on the manufacturer. That is why LM11900LA, LM29700LA, LM48500LA and LM67000LA share the same naming logic but correspond to different sizes. To request a quote, send us the complete part number exactly as it appears on the bearing or on the drawing.

In Argentine industry they appear in gear reducers and gearboxes, conveyor rollers, axles of road and agricultural machinery, milling equipment and kiln drives. Also in the metalworking sector and in overhead crane maintenance, where axial thrust coexists with radial load. Because they are separable, the inner or outer raceway can be replaced separately when wear is uneven, which is common in applications with critical lubrication.

To select correctly, you must look at the contact angle, thrust capacity and the type of sealing or cage. During mounting, the outer and inner raceways are adjusted separately, so alignment and axial clearance are regulated with shims, nuts or spacers. Lubrication with high-viscosity grease or oil and clearance control are decisive: a poorly adjusted clearance shortens the life of the assembly long before the load does.

Between brands, tapered series are interchanged by cone and cup dimensions, not by the commercial part number. The same size may appear with different nomenclatures depending on the manufacturer, and the equivalence is confirmed by comparing inner diameter, outer diameter and assembly width. If you need to replace a tapered roller bearing, send us the old part number or the measurements and we will indicate the compatible alternative.
