- Company Profile:
The Timken Company's expertise is in metallurgy, friction management and power transmission. In using this expertise their goal is to improve the reliability and efficiency of machinery all around the world.
A seal required to prevent leakage past parts that are in relative motion.
Industry:Machine tools
Formed by a line drawn between the areas of ball and ring contact and a line perpendicular to the bearing axis.
Industry:Machine tools
A chemical attack on metals by acids, alkalies, oxygen, chlorine, sulfur or other chemicals. This is distinct from metal destruction by wear and may be evident by either discoloration or pitting.
Industry:Machine tools
The line of intersection between the outside and inside lip surfaces of a radial lip seal. In a cross-sectional view, this intersection is illustrated as a point.
Industry:Machine tools
The bearing's inner ring that is fixed to and/or pressed onto a rotating shaft.
Industry:Machine tools
The molecular attraction between grease particles that causes them to stick together. This attraction contributes to its resistance to flow.
Industry:Machine tools
The ratio of the friction between two surfaces to the pressure between them. A low coefficient of friction means low friction losses that are influenced by the viscosity and character of the lubricant and by materials, surface conditions and other factors.
Industry:Machine tools
The separator that spaces and holds rolling elements in their proper positions along the races.
Industry:Machine tools
A straight line about which an object rotates; a straight line about which the parts of a bearing are regularly arranged. The center line of a shaft serves as an axis for a bearing; the cup and housing remain stationary while the shaft and cone rotate OR the cone and shaft remain stationary and the cup and housing rotate around it. The relative motion of the cup and cone is accommodated by the rolling motion of the rollers.
