Timken’s high-precision tapered roller bearings consist of carefully matched components that offer an added degree of fine-tuning in the bearing setting and adjustment procedure to maximize customer machine productivity. Timken manufactures high-speed designs with a variable preload capability for optimum performance. Timken also manufactures Precision Plus bearings – having an overall radial runout less than a single micron.
Strengths
In particular, precision tapered roller bearings feature: Tighter manufacturing specifications resulting in greater rotational accuracy; Reduced tolerances on bore and outside diameter creating improved performance in high speed, high temperature applications; Straight race and/or roller profile designs (versus crowned profile designs) for increased accuracy and rigidity; Controlled machining and assembly processes to ensure that components are matched properly and exact specifications are met; High load-carrying capability compared to other bearing types so that fatigue life is enhanced; The ability to be adjusted during installation so that operating torque, shaft rigidity and operating temperature can be precisely controlled.
