TIMKEN YP belongs to spherical roller bearing, part of our Bearings range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for YP and any equivalents.

The TIMKEN YP series is a self-aligning spherical roller bearing with two rows of rollers. It handles heavy radial loads plus axial loads in either direction, and it keeps working when the shaft and housing are not perfectly aligned. That makes it a common choice where vibration, shock or shaft deflection would quickly damage a rigid bearing. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this series and helps you pin down the exact size your equipment needs.

Read the YP code as a package, not as a size. In the Timken catalog, YP points to a particular cage design and internal geometry within the spherical roller bearing family, with the cage holding and guiding the rollers. A quote request that only says "YP" cannot be processed. Send the bore, outside diameter and width, or better yet the complete part number stamped on the bearing you are replacing. With that, we identify the exact reference.

Spherical roller bearings show up across mining, cement, steel, paper, aggregate processing and heavy transport. Typical locations include conveyors, mills, crushers, screens, industrial fans, high-flow pumps and paper machines, as well as gearboxes and power transmission equipment running on long shafts that deflect. The YP cage design suits these combined-load duties where some misalignment is unavoidable.

Selection comes down to radial and axial load, speed, lubrication method and sealing. YP series bearings can run on grease or oil. The seal choice follows the environment: dust, water or particles call for sealed or shielded versions. During mounting, keep everything clean, stay inside the permitted alignment limits and fit the bearing correctly on the shaft and in the housing. Misalignment or over-tightening will cut service life.

Interchange starts with the numeric designation and the standard dimensions. Other brands may list equivalent bearings, but tolerances, internal clearance and cage type still need checking before you swap one in. Comparing dimensions and the full part number is the safe route. We supply the brands we carry and can advise on interchangeability.
