The Timken Company's expertise is in metallurgy, friction management and power transmission. In using this expertise their goal is to improve the reliability and efficiency of machinery all around the world.
A spring-loaded ball mechanism that aligns the needle rollers of a full complement drawn cup bearing before it is pressed into a housing. The rollers are aligned when the ball detent forces the rollers apart, gathering circumferential clearance in one location.
Industry:Machine tools
A device which partly surrounds the balls and travels with them, the main purpose of which is to space the balls.
Industry:Machine tools
An anti-friction bearing that uses a series of steel balls held between inner and outer bearing races.
Industry:Machine tools
Rod or spindle on or with which a wheel revolves; the bar connecting two opposite wheels. The shaft (axle) of an automobile fits through the bore of a cone of the tapered roller bearing.
Industry:Machine tools
Also called lateral runout, is the measurable irregularity or wobble parallel to the axis of rotation.
Industry:Machine tools
A straight line about which an object rotates; a straight line about which the parts of a bearing are regularly arranged. The center line of a shaft serves as an axis for a bearing; the cup and housing remain stationary while the shaft and cone rotate OR the cone and shaft remain stationary and the cup and housing rotate around it. The relative motion of the cup and cone is accommodated by the rolling motion of the rollers.
Industry:Machine tools
A type of load on a bearing that is parallel to the axis of rotation.
