Although the life and performance of TIMKEN bearings is largely determined by the geometry of the part and the metallurgical factors. But it can also improve its performance by changing its surface condition. For example, when the gear is meshed, the shaft rotates in the bearing housing and the rolling elements of the bearing run on the raceway, etc., the surface finishing and special coating can reduce the friction and prolong the life of the equipment.
TIMKEN Bearings This innovative special surface treatment process consists of two main technologies: special surface treatment and anti-abrasive solution. Special surface treatments are achieved by modification of the surface of the part (changing the finishing of the surface) and special coatings. These methods result in lower surface roughness than conventional grinding and honing methods. Of course, in most cases, a certain degree of roughness is actually needed because it also needs to provide the necessary space for lubrication.
Despite this, special surface treatments are limited. They are only suitable for parts with a certain size and a suitable geometry. Timken's special surface treatment technology increases the power density of components, reduces wear and reduces friction losses, resulting in higher bearing performance, longer life and system durability, and lower warranty costs.
Another big new technology anti-abrasive bearing shines in an environment full of dust and abrasive particles. It is specifically designed for those abrasive environments where bearing performance and productivity are affected. Timken's anti-wear grain bearings are obtained through a dedicated heat treatment process, material selection and unique process control that optimizes strength, ductility and toughness.
