Timken Launches Highcapacity Bearings for Heavyduty Use

In industrial environments where heavy machinery operates continuously under extreme pressure, bearing reliability becomes mission-critical. A single component failure can lead to costly production downtime and significant economic losses. Addressing these challenges, The Timken Company has engineered its double-row cylindrical roller bearing series to deliver exceptional radial load capacity and unmatched interchangeability for heavy-duty applications.

The defining advantage of Timken's double-row cylindrical roller bearings lies in their exceptional radial load-bearing capability . Compared to single-row designs, these bearings can withstand substantially greater radial forces, resulting in extended service life, reduced maintenance requirements, and enhanced equipment reliability. This makes them particularly suitable for heavy machinery operating under extreme radial loads.

Timken's design incorporates industry-leading interchangeability , allowing users to replace either the inner or outer ring without changing the entire bearing assembly. This feature not only simplifies maintenance procedures but also reduces spare parts inventory costs. Notably, the interchangeable design specifically applies to bearing rings without rollers, enabling compatibility with competitor components for added flexibility.

• ISO/DIN compliant: Manufactured to strict international standards for dimensional accuracy and global compatibility
• Complete assembly: Sold as ready-to-install units to minimize assembly time and costs
• Consistent sizing: Maintains identical size ranges as single-row products for easy selection
• Standardized nomenclature: Uses NN and NNU classification system for clear identification
• Optimized cage design: Features precision-drilled, bronze finger-type retainers for superior roller guidance and lubrication

These high-performance bearings serve critical functions across multiple industries:

Provides stable operation under the substantial radial forces generated by gear meshing.

Withstands the high-impact loads and rapid rotation speeds required for precision metal cutting.

Endures extreme radial pressures and elevated temperatures during metal forming processes.

Delivers the precision and rigidity needed for high-speed, high-accuracy machining operations.

The product line offers an extensive size range, with outer diameters spanning from 80mm to 2000mm, accommodating diverse industrial requirements.

With over a century of bearing expertise, Timken continues to innovate solutions for demanding applications. These double-row cylindrical roller bearings demonstrate the company's leadership in heavy-load bearing technology, offering industrial operators improved reliability, lower maintenance costs, and enhanced productivity.
