The first Timken® bearing was used in ahorse-drawn wagon. Today, our bearings are found in vehicles with considerably more horsepower. After more than a century of involvement with the transportation industry, we’ve collected a considerable amount of practical knowledge regarding bearing maintenance.

If you work on cars or trucks, Timken Tech Tips can be a valuable source of information. Timken experts have written a library of Tech Tips on various bearing-related topics. The program covers six products: hubs, tapered bearings, needle bearings, cylindrical bearings, ball bearings, seals and lubricants.  Each section discusses product fundamentals, trouble shooting and removal and installation.

In addition to Tech Tips for automobiles, there are also some tips focused on heavy duty equipment, as well as for European vehicles.

You can browse the library of Tech Tips, and you can also subscribe to receive all future editions.
