Timken A-5232-WSR6 Cylindrical Roller Bearing

Timken A-5232-WS R6 is a single-row cylindrical roller bearing with R6 internal clearance, designed to handle high radial loads up to 1,750 kN while allowing axial shaft movement to accommodate thermal expansion. Part of Timken's A5200 metric series, it uses through-hardened bearing steel for durability, a steel cage for robust operation, and precise dimensions: bore 160 mm, outside diameter 290 mm, and width 98.425 mm. Dynamic radial load rating is 1,750 kN and static radial load rating is 1,270 kN, with a geometry factor (Cg) of 0.164, indicating the bearing’s stiffness characteristics. Grease lubrication supports up to 1,400 rpm and oil lubrication up to 1,200 rpm, reflecting its suitability for demanding, heavy-duty systems. Typical applications include industrial gearboxes, rolling mills, mining equipment, paper mills, steel processing machinery, heavy conveyors, electric motors, pumps, and compressors, where high radial loading and precise shaft guidance are essential. Common maintenance or replacement scenarios include equipment replacement, retrofit projects, expansion, and preventive maintenance to maximize reliability and minimize downtime.
