For maintenance teams dealing with shafts that are hard to reach, Timken LSM series split bearing housings offer a practical answer. These cylindrical units come in two halves, so they can be placed onto a shaft without tearing down surrounding equipment, and the bearing can be changed out without pulling other components. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to industrial plants across the United States and Latin America.

The LSM code works like this: the letters identify the series, and the number that follows tells you the shaft size in millimeters. So LSM35 fits a 35 mm shaft, LSM40 fits a 40 mm shaft, and the pattern continues. Sealing and locking options are not built into that base number; they are selected separately based on where the housing will run. When you request a quote, include the full part number so we can match the exact reference.

You will find these housings in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mills, mixers, pumps and industrial fans. In food processing, cement, mining and aggregate operations, where shafts are long and access is tight, the split design cuts downtime. They also suit equipment where the bearing sits at one end and cannot be slid off.

Selection comes down to shaft diameter, radial and axial loads, and the surrounding environment. The seal has to keep out dust, water or particles, so check which gasket type is available. During installation, align both halves and tighten the joining bolts to the recommended torque. Good lubrication and correct alignment help the bearing last and avoid early failure.

Timken LSM series split bearing housings can be swapped with other brands that use a similar layout, as long as shaft dimensions, housing height and locking type line up. There is no one-size-fits-all equivalence because each manufacturer sets its own tolerances and load capacities. That is why comparing critical dimensions and talking to a specialist matters when you are sourcing a replacement.
