The Timken LSM series split housing is a mounted split bearing, designed for shafts that cannot be disassembled to install a conventional bearing. It opens into two halves, is placed around the shaft and closed onto the housing, which simplifies mounting on large or hard-to-access equipment. MR Accesorios Industriales sells it in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with more than 80 years of experience in industrial components.

The LSM series designation is read in blocks: the letters identify the mounted split housing family and the number that follows indicates the size of the assembly. In the example LSM160A, the 160 corresponds to the shaft size for which the housing is intended, and the final letter A distinguishes the housing configuration variant. To choose the correct part number, cross-reference the shaft diameter with the series and the suffix, and send the complete part number by WhatsApp to MR.

These housings are used in belt conveyors, mills, high-flow pumps, fans and process equipment where the shaft is solid and disassembly involves cutting or removing components. In cement, mining, paper, aggregate processing and food plants, the split housing allows work on the bearing without moving the shaft or the gearbox. MR Accesorios Industriales supports these applications throughout the country with technical advice to select the right variant.

To select the housing, verify the shaft diameter, the type of fixing and the sealing required by the environment. In areas with dust or water, a reinforced seal is advisable; in high-temperature applications, check the lubrication and internal clearance. Mounting is done with the two halves aligned and the joining bolts tightened in a cross pattern, checking that the shaft turns freely. Careful alignment and correct lubrication extend the life of the assembly.

Mounted split housings are interchangeable between brands by series number and shaft size, but tolerances and sealing systems do not always match. Before replacing equipment from another brand with a Timken LSM series, compare the shaft diameter, the housing height and the type of fixing. MR tells you the compatible alternative and quotes the reference you need.

If you have the housing part number or the equipment model, send it by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales. We quote the LSM160A and the other variants of the LSM series, and we tell you the compatible alternative if needed. We also work with bearings, housings, power transmission, seals and lubricants for industrial maintenance.
