Virtually all Timken precision steel components are produced from Timken alloy steel bars or tubes. Our complete supply chain management process provides benefits in terms of delivering high quality materials and ensuring supply reliability.

We employ a variety of cutting processes as the first step in converting tubes or bars of steel into components.

Components may be formed to produce the near net shape of the finished part using our ring rolling, cold axial rolling or cold radial rolling processes.

With over a century of experience, Timken is a global expert at heat treating steel.

We grind the surface to provide better locating reference for further machining, and can grind the component to final specifications, ready to assemble.

We employ automated gauging to ensure the highest quality levels. Our systems use both inline gauging and end-of-process gauging to evaluate critical dimensions and surface quality.

Timken operates one of the largest bearing steel warehouse in North America, with an inventory of bars, tubes, precut parts and slugs.
