Decoding TIMKEN 240/600YMD
- 240Series
- Spherical roller bearings, 240 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- /600Bore
- Bore: 600 mm.
- YMDSuffix
- TIMKEN suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
240/600 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
TIMKEN 240/600YMD measures 600 mm across the bore and 870 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 272 mm (600 x 870 x 272 mm).

TIMKEN spherical roller bearings carry heavy radial loads and also take axial loads in both directions, while their two rows of rollers let the shaft stay aligned even when angular deviation appears. They suit equipment where the shaft deflects or the supports are not perfectly coaxial. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies these bearings to customers throughout the United States and in several Latin American countries, and helps buyers confirm the right part number for the job.
Reading the designation helps you match a bearing to an existing position. The 230 series starts with the type number, followed by a digit for the width series, and the remaining digits give the bore diameter. The YMD suffix marks a particular construction variant inside the spherical roller family. It shows up in references such as 230/600YMD, 230/800YMD and 230/950YMD, and the same pattern continues in the 231 and 232 series, for example 231/630YMD or 232/600YMD.
Typical service sectors include cement, mining, steel, paper, wind power and materials handling. On this side of the market, these bearings appear in mills, crushers, conveyor belts, heavy gearboxes and paper machines. Because they tolerate misalignment, they fit long shafts and separate supports, where flexing or mounting error creates angles that other bearing types cannot handle. Industrial fans and large pumps are common applications as well.
Selection comes down to radial and axial load, rotation speed and lubrication method. Closure options are open, plate or seal; a protected version makes sense where dust or moisture is present. Internal clearance should follow the shaft fit and the operating temperature. At mounting, verify support alignment and use the right tools so the rollers and raceways stay undamaged. Use the lubricant specified for the bearing and renew it according to the working regime.
These bearings follow dimension standards that allow interchange between brands. If a position currently runs a bearing from another maker, a TIMKEN equivalent can take its place when the main dimensions and the suffix type agree. Send the complete part number, or the shaft and housing measurements, and the team will point out the compatible option and quote it by WhatsApp or email.

Frequently asked questions
- TIMKEN 240/600YMD bearing: what are its dimensions?
- TIMKEN 240/600YMD measures 600 mm across the bore and 870 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 272 mm (600 x 870 x 272 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 240/600.
- What does the YMD suffix indicate on a TIMKEN bearing?
- It identifies a specific construction variant within the spherical roller family. Send the complete part number and the team will provide the precise technical information for that reference.
- Can a bearing from another brand be replaced with a TIMKEN one?
- Yes, provided the main dimensions and the design type match, since spherical roller bearings follow interchangeability standards. Share the original part number and the team will indicate the TIMKEN equivalent.
- How do I decide between an open and a sealed bearing?
- It depends on the working environment. Where dust, humidity or contaminants are present, a sealed variant is advisable; for clean interiors with centralized lubrication, the open version is sufficient. Describe the application and the team will guide the choice.
