The Timken Co., manufacturer of tapered roller bearings, has expanded its product offering to include a full line of commercial vehicle wheel end components.
“Taking a system approach to wheel end part selection can mean trouble-free installation because all the components will fit correctly, install easily and can keep turning reliably for more miles,” said Dan Humphrey, Timken manager for the commercial vehicle aftermarket. “Automotive aftermarket customers who turn to Timken for wheel end parts can expect reliable service, simplified through a single-supplier selection.”
Timken commercial vehicle wheel end components include tapered roller bearings, seals, nuts, hub caps, hubodometers and accessory tools. According to the manufacturer:
- Timken tapered roller bearings, the core of wheel end components, are built to roll easily, install quickly, and last a long time.
- Timken seals with advanced internal geometries help keep lubrication in and debris out. Timken seals are available in a variety of materials to meet fleet needs in a range of sizes to fit all common power units and trailers. They also offer seal installation tools.
- The Timken Axilock nut is meant to be quick to install and more accurate than a three-piece nut.
- Durable construction and a secure fit ensure Timken hub caps provide a strong defense, warding off weather and helping protect wheel end components from damage.
- Timken hubodometers alert drivers when it is time to bring a unit in for service.
- Hot Dots provide immediate indication of overheated wheel ends.
- Timken dial indicators, which help set the correct clearance when installing wheel end bearings.
Timken engineers, manufactures and markets bearings, transmissions, gearboxes, chain and related products, and offers a spectrum of powertrain rebuild and repair services.
