Single- and Multi-point Lubricators Timken lubricators are available in single- and multi-point units to ensure consistent, regular lubrication to bearings, gears and conveyors, helping to improve component life and reduce maintenance labor costs.

Engineered SurfacesWith more than 50 years invested in the study of surface finishes, Timken offers a selection of topographical modifications and hard coatings that enhance the wear, fatigue and frictional performance of many precision components. Timken Engineered Surfaces technology is applicable in rolling, sliding or mixed contact systems where fatigue spalling, inadequate lubrication, pitting, false brinelling or peeling damage modes may exist. Common applications include engine components, bearings, hydrostatics and gears.

Condition Monitoring DevicesFrom wireless units to online systems, conditioning monitoring devices give you powerful diagnostic tools to help detect potential bearing failure, maximize machine uptime and lower maintenance costs.

Repair and Replacement OptionsBy choosing to have bearings and other mill elements re-manufactured, customers save money in replace-ment costs and maintain a steady supply of parts instead of purchasing new parts during downtimes.

Lubrication Delivery DevicesFor a Timken bearing to operate properly it is essential for it to receive proper lubrication. Timken grease guns and pumps are high-quality maintenance products that help decrease both machinery downtime and operating costs.

Seals and Bearing IsolatorsBearing seals and isolators protect the bearing from contaminants to enhance performance and bearing life.

LubricantsIndustrial lubricant formulas have been specifically developed by our lubrication experts. These lubricants keep bearings running smoothly in a variety of industrial conditions, including high heat, food processing and high speed.
