Decoding FAG 23936-S-K-MB

239Series
Spherical roller bearings, 239 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
36Bore
Bore 180 mm (36 × 5).
S-K-MBSuffix
FAG suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.

23936 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.

Description

FAG 23936-S-K-MB measures 180 mm across the bore and 250 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 52 mm (180 x 250 x 52 mm).

FAG spherical roller bearings are self-aligning, with two rows of rollers and a spherical raceway on the outer ring. They handle radial and axial loads in both directions and tolerate angular misalignment between shaft and housing, making them suitable for equipment where shaft deflection or seat deformation occurs.

The part number breaks down into meaningful blocks. The initial number gives the size. The letter S denotes an annular groove plus three lubrication holes in the outer ring. The K indicates a 1:12 tapered bore. MB identifies a solid brass cage guided by the inner ring. So in 23936-S-K-MB or 23944-S-K-MB, each suffix tells you about mounting or lubrication. If your required combination differs, send it to us on WhatsApp for verification.

These bearings are common in reducers and gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, induced draft fans, vibrating screens, mills, and mining and cement equipment. They also appear in paper machines, cranes and conveyors where the shaft deflects or the housing lacks rigidity. Their self-aligning capability offsets alignment errors and frame distortion, which reduces parasitic forces on the shaft.

Selection depends on load type and expected misalignment, rotation speed and lubrication method. The S groove with holes allows relubrication from the housing. The K tapered bore mounts with an adapter sleeve or withdrawal sleeve, simplifying internal clearance adjustment. The MB solid brass cage suits high loads and moderate speeds. During mounting, check initial alignment, seat cleanliness and residual clearance per the equipment manual.

Spherical roller bearings are dimensionally interchangeable between brands for the same basic designation: bore, outer diameter and width match. However, suffixes are not always equivalent. Grooves, lubrication holes, taper and cage type can vary. Compare the complete designation, not just the size number. To replace a bearing from another brand, send the full part number and we will review the correspondence.

MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies FAG bearings to customers across the United States and in several Latin American countries. If your equipment uses a spherical roller bearing from this series, send the part number or model via WhatsApp or email. Our team replies promptly, can suggest equivalents and help you choose the right adapter sleeve, lubrication and mounting approach.

Frequently asked questions

FAG 23936-S-K-MB bearing: what are its dimensions?
FAG 23936-S-K-MB measures 180 mm across the bore and 250 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 52 mm (180 x 250 x 52 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 23936.
What does the S-K-MB suffix mean on a spherical roller bearing?
S indicates an annular groove and three lubrication holes in the outer ring; K indicates a 1:12 tapered bore for mounting with an adapter sleeve; MB indicates a solid brass cage guided by the inner ring. Each suffix affects mounting and lubrication.
How do I decide between a tapered and a cylindrical bore?
A K tapered bore is used with adapter or withdrawal sleeves, typical on long shafts or where internal clearance needs adjustment. A cylindrical bore mounts directly on the shaft. The choice depends on housing design and mounting method.
Can I replace a bearing from another brand with a FAG one from this series?
Yes, if the standardized dimensions and suffix configuration match. The size number is often interchangeable, but verify grooves, lubrication holes, taper and cage. Send the complete part number via WhatsApp and we will review the equivalence.
