Compared to most bearings, aircraft landing wheel bearings have a life of extremes. Most of the time they just support the aircraft as it sits on the runway, or are tucked into the belly of the aircraft in flight.

But during landings, these bearings are subjected to extreme shock loads and rapid acceleration. It’s a demanding bearing application, and one that has no margin for failure.

To help aircraft maintainers ensure that your landing wheel bearings are properly maintained, Timken offers a two-hour training program. Held at your location, this program will give you the information needed to keep wheel bearings well maintained and in top condition.
