TYPE E OVERVIEW
Our latest innovation is our new series of Timken® Type E roller housed
units. Timken engineers have applied more than 110 years of expertise
in bearing design – and leadership in tapered roller
bearings – to bring you an optimized performance tapered roller
bearing housed unit. We have improved our own design to create the new
standard in performance. Performance life testing data yields
a design life for our new Type E bearing that is 55 percent higher than
current industry leading designs, which utilize standard Timken
bearings. Timken has also added a double lip seal design to
significantly reduce contaminant ingress over competing products.
From the bearings, seals and grease to housings and collars, our innovative
design incorporates features that can help withstand the most demanding
application conditions – resulting in less downtime, reduced
maintenance intervals and an overall lower cost of ownership.
