Timken offers one of the broadest ranges of rugged housed units for spherical, tapered and ball bearings. For spherical bearings, select from solid-block steel housings and split-block (SNT/SAF) cast-iron housings. To protect bearings in dirty and contaminated environments, Timken offers a variety of sealing and end cover options.
Spherical bearings are designed to manage high radial loads even when misalignment, poor lubrication, contamination, extreme speeds or critical application stresses are present.
Timken uses its 80 years of experience designing and manufacturing cylindrical roller bearings to continually advance performance across size ranges and configurations, including inch and metric and one-row, two-row and four-row designs.
Tapered bearings are uniquely designed to manage both thrust and radial loads on rotating shafts and in housings. We manufacture nearly 26,000 bearing combinations – in single, double and four-row configurations. Customized geometries and engineered surfaces can be applied to these bearings to further enhance performance in demanding applications.
Ball bearings are used for high precision applications in a variety of markets, including aerospace, agriculture, construction, health, machine tool and general industry
To connect any drive shaft to a driven shaft, Timken Quick-Flex elastomeric couplings are a smart solution. There is no metal-to-metal contact, due to the urethane insert, so no lubrication is needed. Couplings are use to connect motor to gearbox, gearbox to driven equipment and motors to pumps.
