Known across the global business community as industry leaders in ball bearing design, construction and distribution Timken create bearings that are used in industry's as diverse as aerospace, medicine and construction. Cornerstones of the industry, Timken ball bearings are produced in 3 main categories, categories that are discussed below in more detail.
Radial Ball Bearings
Radial Ball Bearings are perhaps the most popular and common type of ball bearing. They have an inner and an outer ring that work together to contain the balls and there will be a deep, snap ring groove imbedded in the bearing that will simplify mounting and allow it to hold radial and axial loads from either direction at incredibly high speeds. Size wise they can range anywhere from 3mm around to 600mm and are used in a variety of applications and industry's. They are also able to withstand densely contaminated environments thanks special seals that keep lubrication in and contaminants out. They also have special coatings that will increase corrosion resistance and numerous shield and seal configurations that can be customised by the customer.
Angular Contact Ball Bearings
There are two general varieties of angular contact ball bearings. Single row bearings can only thrust in one direction but can generally handle larger loads, double row bearings can move in both. Single row bearings can handle larger loads because they are designed so they can be mounted in rows, making them perfect for 'duplex' mounting. They are generally used in the agricultural industry and the construction industry, and can be as small as 10mm across and as large as 150mm across.
Precision Ball Bearings
These are far more specific and generally smaller ball bearings that are used in more intricate and specific markets. There are countless types of precision bearing but the more common ones include thin section bearings (used mainly in rotary joints and gimbals), ball screw support bearings (used primarily in motion control applications) and ceramic ball bearings that can deliver higher spindle speeds thanks to the ceramic balls used in the bearing that increase dynamic radial stiffness.
Timken ball bearings are known within the industry as being the most flexible, reliable and cost effective ball bearings that money can buy. Supplying all kinds of ball bearings for use in all manner of applications across the world for over 100 years (Timken was found at the end of the 19th century), Timken is a name synonymous with quality. If you're in the market for ball bearings, you won't want to look anywhere else.
