Description
TIMKEN M88040A is a tapered roller bearing de doble hilera reference, within Bearings. Request a quote for M88040A via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.
The double-row tapered roller bearing is an assembly of two rows of rollers mounted on the same axis of symmetry, designed to withstand radial and axial loads in both directions within a compact space. It is used where a single row is not enough due to load capacity or rigidity requirements, and where the mounting must be resolved in a single unit. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies the TIMKEN line in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The designation of these bearings combines a series letter with numeric blocks and an alphabetic suffix, as in the M88040A example. The initial letter identifies the dimension family and the final suffix distinguishes manufacturing variants within that same family. The 2TS-IM series corresponds to the double-row line with cup and cone machined as an assembly. To correctly read a code, it is best to take the complete number, not fragment it, and compare it with the drawing or the machine's nameplate before requesting a quote.
In Argentine industry, these bearings appear in gear reducers, gearboxes, transmission equipment, conveyor belt rollers, road and agricultural machinery, and generally in shafts where there is combined load and little axial space. They are also found in mining, cement and steel applications, where the demand for rigidity and durability is high. MR Accesorios Industriales supports plants and workshops throughout the country with this line for replacement and new projects.
To select correctly, you must look at the type of load, the rotation speed and the working environment. In applications with dust or water, sealing should be defined; in high-demand mountings, check the internal clearance and the axial adjustment method. Proper lubrication and alignment of the seats are decisive: a misaligned double-row tapered bearing concentrates stresses and shortens service life. If the original equipment comes with a code, that is the starting point for choosing the right variant.
Between brands, tapered bearings are interchanged by dimensions and load capacity, not by the commercial code. The same size may appear with different designations depending on the manufacturer, and suffixes change according to tolerances, sealing or treatment. Therefore, when looking for equivalences, what matters is the mounting drawing and the seat dimensions. At MR we indicate the compatible alternative when the original reference is not available.
If you have the bearing code, the equipment model or the seat dimensions, send us the data on WhatsApp and we will send you a quote promptly. We can also evaluate variants of the 2TS-IM series and compatible alternatives so the equipment keeps running. MR Accesorios Industriales works with the TIMKEN line and with the leading brands in the industrial market.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the 2TS-IM series mean in a tapered bearing?
- It is the designation of the TIMKEN double-row line, with two rows of tapered rollers mounted in one assembly. It is used when radial and axial loads in both directions must be supported with a single bearing.
- How do I request a quote for a TIMKEN tapered bearing?
- Send the complete code on WhatsApp, for example M88040A, or the seat dimensions and the equipment model. With that data we will send you a quote promptly and, if needed, indicate the compatible alternative.
- Can I replace a double-row tapered bearing with two single-row bearings?
- In some mountings it is possible, but the axial adjustment and the space occupied change. The right approach is to compare dimensions, load capacity and clearance with the equipment drawing before deciding on the replacement.
