The Timken MSM split housing is a mounted split cylindrical roller bearing, designed to be mounted on shafts without disassembling the line. It is used in equipment where access is limited and replacement requires speed: conveyor belts, mills, pumps and large fans. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line as an official brand and advises you to choose the correct configuration according to the shaft and the application.

The MSM designation identifies the Timken series of mounted split housings. The number that follows the prefix indicates the shaft size for which mounting is intended: for example, MSM160A corresponds to a housing for a 160 mm shaft. The final letter A distinguishes the construction variant within the series. To confirm the exact configuration of your equipment, send us the complete part number by WhatsApp and we will tell you the corresponding alternative.

These housings are chosen in cement, mining, steel, paper, sugar and aggregate processing plants, where large-diameter shafts work with high loads and continuous cycles. In Argentina they are found in clinker conveyors, ball mills, high-flow centrifugal pumps and industrial fans. Their split construction allows the bearing to be replaced without dismounting the shaft or the transmission, which reduces downtime in scheduled maintenance.

To select the correct housing, take into account the shaft diameter, the type of load (radial, axial or combined) and the environmental conditions. The MSM series accepts grease or oil lubrication depending on the housing design; verify the sealing required against dust, water or temperature. During mounting, respect the torque of the joining bolts and check the alignment of the shaft with the housing to avoid parasitic stresses that shorten bearing life.

Mounted split housings from different brands can be interchanged if the main shaft dimensions, the center height and the type of fixing match. Timken, SKF, NSK and other firms offer equivalent lines, but tolerances and sealing systems vary between manufacturers. Before replacing one housing with another, compare the mounting drawings and consult our technical team to validate compatibility.

If you need a split housing for your application, write to us by WhatsApp with the part number or the model shown on the equipment. At MR Accesorios Industriales we quote the Timken reference or tell you the compatible alternative with the same mounting dimensions. We also manufacture split housings to order if your equipment requires a special configuration.
