Double row tapered roller bearings from TIMKEN's K series are built as a pair of matched cones with a shared cup, or as two matched assemblies, depending on the variant. They handle combined radial and axial loads where rigidity and load capacity matter, such as in gearboxes, machine shafts and transmission equipment. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies these bearings and helps you identify the right assembly.

A K-series reference begins with the letter K followed by five digits, for example K37425, K37625 or K160046. That K tells you it is an assembled double row tapered roller unit: two matched cones on one cup or on two cups, depending on how it mounts. The 2TS-IM, 2TS-DM and 2S series cover different matching and row arrangements. To read a code correctly, look at the full reference together with the drawing or the position in the equipment, since the number points to a specific assembly rather than a single dimension.

You will find these bearings in gearboxes, reducers, transmission shafts, and in mining, grinding, steelmaking and road machinery. They also appear in machine tool spindles and heavy transport rollers, where the double row spreads the load and helps maintain shaft precision. Cement, food and oil plants use them to support combined loads with controlled misalignment. When shock or vibration is present, the double row tapered series is often the stiffer choice.

Selecting the assembly means reviewing radial and axial load, rotation speed, internal clearance, and the sealing or protection the environment requires. During mounting, align the cups and cones properly, apply the specified grease or oil, and control axial tightening: too much adjustment raises temperature, while too little creates clearance and wear. Before replacing, inspect the shaft and housing, because a damaged race can shorten the life of the new bearing.

Double row tapered roller bearings interchange by catalogue number and standardized dimensions across brands, but each manufacturer keeps its own series and suffixes. When you ask for an equivalent, give the complete code plus the dimensions of the old assembly or the equipment drawing. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies TIMKEN and can point you to a compatible alternative within the same family. If you cannot find the reference you need, send the code or model by WhatsApp or email and we will quote it promptly.
