The TIMKEN YMD series is a self-aligning spherical roller bearing that carries heavy radial loads along with axial loads in either direction, and it tolerates misalignment between shaft and housing. Equipment prone to shaft deflection or assembly error is where this design earns its place. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to customers in the United States and Latin America.

The letters YMD point to a defined TIMKEN series, with its own cage execution and a standardized range of sizes. To match a bearing to your application, the bore, outer diameter and width are what matter, or simply the full part number printed on the drawing or the machine nameplate. Give us that information and we will identify the reference you need.

Typical service includes cement, mining, steel, paper, aggregates and material handling, plus gearboxes, conveyors, mills, screens and industrial fans. Crushing and grinding equipment is a common home for these bearings, because the shaft flexes and perfect alignment is rarely achievable. Self-alignment absorbs that condition and helps the assembly stay in service.

Selection should consider radial and axial load, operating speed and lubrication method. Depending on size, the YMD series can be supplied with a steel, brass or polyamide cage. In dusty or damp locations, decide between open, shielded and sealed versions. Correct internal clearance and initial alignment at mounting matter, and the lubricant must suit the running temperature.

Bearings from different manufacturers can be swapped when the principal dimensions and cage design line up. A similar part number alone is not enough: compare bore, outer diameter, width and execution. Send the original number and we will help you find the equivalent.
