SHELF LIFE AND STORAGE OF GREASE-LUBRICATED BEARINGS AND COMPONENTS To help you get the most value from our products, Timken provides guidelines for the shelf life of grease-lubricated ball and roller bearings, components and assemblies. Shelf life information is based on Timken and industry test data and experience. SHELF LIFE Shelf life should be distinguished from lubricated bearing/ component design life as follows: Shelf life of the grease-lubricated bearing/component represents the period of time prior to use or installation. The shelf life is a portion of the anticipated aggregate...

TIMKEN MACHINE TOOL CATALOG Inasmuch as Timken is not familiar with a customer’s particular storage conditions, these guidelines are strongly suggested. However, the customer may very well be required by circumstance or applicable government requirements to adhere to stricter storage requirements. Most bearing types are typically shipped protected with a corrosionpreventive compound that is not a lubricant. Such bearings may be used in oil-lubricated applications without removal of the corrosion-preventive compound. When using some specialized grease lubrication it is advisable to remove...

THE BEARING SELECTION PROCESS TIMKEN® BEARINGS Timken provides an extensive variety of rolling bearing types and sizes – to the extent that customers need not look elsewhere. Knowing that the bearing is often the most critical component within a moving assembly, Timken engineers take great care to ensure the customer is receiving maximum value when a Timken® bearing is selected to perform a given function. With the acquisition of the Fafnir® brand, Timken can provide the proper bearing for virtually any motion-control application. With more than a century of proven experience in bearing...

ENGINEERING Boundary (or fixed) conditions that should be taken into consideration include: • External loads, including radial, thrust, moment, shock and combination loads. • Acceleration and deceleration levels. • Operating temperature range (including extreme limits and thermal cycling). • Other environmental factors, such as humidity, fluids, vibration, debris, magnetic fields. • Spatial constraints. Performance expectations (or desired results) to consider include: • Rotational accuracy and repeatability (e.g., service precision level). • System rigidity (axial or radial stiffness). •...

ENGINEERING TIMKEN® SUPER PRECISION BEARINGS Manufacturers require machine tools that are extremely accurate, reliable and capable of high levels of productivity. A major contribution to the performance of any machine tool is supplied by the rolling bearings used to support the spindles, rotating tables, ball screws and other critical precision positions. A manufactured bearing’s precision level has a major influence on the ability to perform in high-speed applications commonly seen in factory machining environments. Today’s industrial machining environments stress maximum production rates....
