Timken Spherical Roller Bearings
Timken high-performance spherical roller bearings have special features that contribute to cooler, longer bearing life. Cage pockets guide the bearing rollers instead of a center guide ring. This eliminates a friction point and reduces operating temperatures by 5˚C, on average. Eliminating the center guide ring also reduces running torque up to 4 percent. Less energy is needed to keep the bearing moving, meaning improved efficiency.
Using Timken spherical roller bearings in an industrial gearbox can result in 33 percent longer life, 20 additional months of bearing life, 10 fewer oil changes and one fewer rebuild over the 20-year life of the gearbox. This translates to $56,000 in savings. Imagine what they can do for your application.
