Outdoor Power Equipment Withstands High Loads, Speeds and Temperatures 

From lawn and garden projects to professional tree work and landscaping, Timken products withstand high loads, speeds and temperatures. Building on experience that goes back to the earliest chain saws, we've developed new needle bearing designs that support the push for cleaner two-cycle engine emissions. Similar compact, lightweight products help us adapt our automotive technology for small four-stroke engines.


  • Our cartridge unit for commercial mower spindles integrates bearings, seals and spacers within a single, extended outer ring. The design provides easy installation, increased capacity and improved sealing while resisting shock loading.

  • Timken supplies cage and roller bearings in the wristpin and crankpin positions on the connecting rod of a handheld four-stroke engine in a grass and weed trimmer. Our design withstands the high G-forces and reciprocating loads.

  • High-performance bearings with a cost-effective cage design handle the high acceleration and temperatures in chain saw wristpins.

We produce a broad range of radial and thrust needle roller bearings as well as bearing assemblies for specialized applications.

Bearing seals enhance performance and life by minimizing oil and water ingress and the resulting damage.

Timken steel components are designed to meet the most demanding standards and tolerances to give you optimum performance.
