PRODUCT DETAILS

TIMKEN bearing brand (origin: USA): Timken was founded in 1899.

Timken bearings began
In the 1890s, Henry Timken, a carriage maker in St. Louis, Missouri, realized that heavy trucks had difficulty turning sharply. To solve this problem, he applied a tapered roller bearing design that could handle both radial (weight) and thrust (steering force) loads. Henry always focused on the interests of his customers and soon realized that tapered roller bearings could improve product performance in many other applications as well. Henry and his two sons, HH and William, founded Timken Roller Bearing and Axle Company in 1899, laying the foundation for today's global enterprise that keeps the world moving.

TIMKEN's clear vision
TIMKEN's tapered roller bearing patent formed the foundation of TIMKEN.
Since 1899, TIMKEN has greatly expanded its bearing portfolio through innovation and acquisition, as well as through its reputation for solving bearing and other bearing problems.

TIMKEN Brands
The many powerful industrial brands that make up TIMKEN's growing portfolio of products and services include Timken®, Fafnir®, Philadelphia Gear®, Drives®, Lovejoy® and Groeneveld®.

TIMKEN Processes
Automating high-volume bearing production at unprecedented speeds enabled TIMKEN to reach new levels of productivity and profitability in the 1950s. But TIMKEN never stops improving. In 2014, TIMKEN launched its DeltaX program, a major investment to accelerate product development and line expansion.
