TIMKEN agricultural machinery spare parts

The TIMKEN Company is a US-American company founded in 1899 and looks back on a long company tradition in the field of agricultural machinery spare parts.
 

The TIMKEN Company

However, its founder Henry Timken originally came from Northern Germany, the city of Bremen, a few years earlier. Today the headquarters of the Corporation is located in North Canton (Ohio), where the company is in close proximity to the major steel and automotive industries. The company is the only one in the world to produce the steel for its agricultural machinery spare parts (taper roller bearings) itself. H. Timken, the founder, originally owned a horse-drawn carriage factory and had repeated problems with broken axles and wheels on the carriages. Early on he looked for a way to reduce the forces acting on the former wooden axles and found the solution in the form of the taper roller bearing.
 

What is a tapered roller bearing?

A tapered roller bearing is able to convert radially and axially acting forces and reduce friction. As a result, they are extremely robust and capable of bearing loads.  The basic principle of the taper roller bearing is also used today. The tapered roller bearing protects the axle and agricultural machinery spare parts from wear and tear when harvesting on the field.
TIMKEN offers a complete range of agricultural machinery spare parts and bearings of excellent quality for combine harvesters, tractors and forage harvesters. This allows the agricultural machine to work faster, more efficiently, more powerfully and with higher yields. The company has set up specific guidelines for the durability of its spare parts to guarantee top quality products during subsequent professional assembly. They attach great importance to a long service life of bearings and components.
It is recommended that workshops and specialist personnel leave the spare parts and bearings of the agricultural machines they receive from the tractor parts shop in their original packaging until they are installed. This way they will not be damaged. It also has the advantage that the products are protected from dirt particles such as dust. If you store the product at a temperature between 0°C and 40°C and with a relative humidity below 60%, then you have the recommended conditions for storing the ball roller bearings.

TIMKEN Tapered roller bearings

The tapered roller bearings are spare parts for agricultural machines. Their special construction consists in the fact that they are made of four different interfering components. There is the inner ring, the outer ring, the taper rollers and the cage. The technology of the taper angles is especially suitable for radial and axial loads and works reliably under the most difficult basic conditions, for example at high temperatures.
Tapered roller bearings are offered in variable designs, suitable for agricultural machinery spare parts for your tractor or combine harvester. The range includes both single row bearings and double row tapered roller bearings.

 

Single row ball roller bearings and double row ball roller bearings

The single row ball roller bearing is generally mounted very often. It consists of an inner ring and an outer ring. In contrast, the double row ball roller bearing has two inner rings and one outer ring. For agricultural machinery and spare parts for agricultural machinery you would choose a double row taper roller bearing if there is an increased tendency to large tilting moments. You can find these in the well-assorted tractor parts shop on our website landtec24.eu
 

The use of a cage for more resistance

The cage of a taper roller bearing is made of steel or polymer. Steel cages are mounted in combine harvesters and tractors with problematic lubrication. The polymer cages are very light in weight. They can be easily and simply installed as spare parts for agricultural machinery.

Caution! Do not use at high temperatures.

Do you use machinery and agricultural machinery spare parts with special high speeds and heavy loads during harvesting? Then you decide to use and equip a tapered roller bearing with a milled cage, a very resistant and durable wear part.
The tapered roller bearing with a pin cage, on the other hand, is made of high quality steel, but is mainly suitable for use at low speed torques.
Agricultural machinery spare parts and TIMKEN taper roller bearings can be found in our tractor parts shop landtec24 as wear parts. They are developed with constant care and quality in the group's various locations worldwide in order to remain competitive. With the TIMKEN product series of bearings you invest in your tractor or combine harvester on the one hand and increase the performance of your harvesting machines on the other hand.
