Rail Solutions

Timken set the standard for rail transit with the introduction of the AP™ tapered roller bearing in the 1930s. Today, our rail products and services improve the efficiency of freight, locomotive, passenger, tram and high speed operations around the world.

With the acquisition of Boring Specialties Inc., we’ve expanded our steel offering for oil and gas exploration and extraction. We’ve also made an investment to add additional small-bar alloy tubing sizes to our oil and gas portfolio.

Timken helps wind turbine designers and operators increase reliability by providing solutions for main shafts and gear drives. Our complete line includes steel products, bearings, gears, engineered surfaces, lubrication and more – all engineered specifically for wind applications.

Timken supplies highly engineered steel products for demanding applications, such as the antenna tower of the Freedom Tower at the World Trade Center in New York. With its unique knowledge of steel chemistry and rigorous manufacturing processes, Timken produces steels that are found anywhere material performance is essential.
