The first Timken® bearing was used in a horse-drawn wagon. Today, our bearings are found in vehicles with considerably more horsepower. After more than a century of involvement with the transportation industry, we’ve collected a considerable amount of practical knowledge regarding bearing maintenance.
 
If you work on cars or trucks, Timken TechTips can be a valuable source of information. Timken experts have written a library of TechTips on various bearing-related topics. TechTips are available for automobiles as well as heavy-duty trucks and also for European vehicles. You can browse the library of Tech Tips, and you can also subscribe to receive all future editions.

In addition, our Timken Tech Series program helps you learn about and get the most out of Timken® automotive and heavy-duty products. This interactive, multimedia tool includes sections on hubs, tapered bearings, needle bearings, cylindrical bearings, ball bearings, seals and lubricants.  Each section discusses product fundamentals, trouble shooting and removal and installation.
