SKF TBP64005 Engine Timing Idler Bearing

SKF TBP64005 Timing Idler Bearing

The SKF TBP64005 is an engine timing idler bearing built for stable belt tracking and consistent tension in timing belt systems. With precise dimensions and low-friction bearing construction, it supports smooth engine operation in Ford, Mazda, and Mercury applications.

Key Features

• Inside diameter: 0.315 in.
• Width: 1.362 in.
• Outside diameter: 2.791 in.
• Low-friction ball bearing design for steady rotation
• High-performance grease and seal for bearing protection
• Engine timing idler bearing for timing belt tensioner pulley applications
• SKF engineering and manufacturing standards for long service life

Detailed Description

SKF TBP64005 is engineered as a timing belt tensioner pulley bearing that helps maintain constant belt tension for reliable engine timing performance. The bearing dimensions are 0.315 inch inside diameter, 1.362 inch width, and 2.791 inch outside diameter, making it a precise service part for the listed Ford, Mazda, and Mercury fitments. This part cross-references OE numbers YF0912730 and YS4Z6M250AA for the same application. The TBP64005 is a practical choice when servicing timing components on vehicles such as the Ford Escape, Ford Focus, and Mazda Tribute.

• Loss of proper belt tension from a deteriorated idler bearing
• Service replacement for timing components on Ford Focus and Ford Escape engines
• Restoration of smooth pulley rotation in Mazda Tribute and Mercury applications

Installation Notes

Verify the housing style and outside diameter before installation, since the listed applications include a 60 mm housing assembly. Confirm engine configuration and model year against the vehicle fitment details, especially on Ford Escape models with VVT and the 1999 Mercury Cougar application noted from 3/29/99.

Quality Assurance

SKF manufactures bearings and seals to high quality standards using low-friction bearing technology, performance grease, and sealing materials intended to support long service life and safe operation in engine timing systems.
