The Program
Timken's Ship Direct program simplifies the bearing overhaul process by
combining our Timken Aerospace Bearing Inspection and Timken Aerospace
Bearing Reconditioning programs into one convenient solution, at no extra
cost to you. Specially designed for facilities without in-house bearing
inspection capabilities, our maintenance technicians oversee the entire
process for you - from the inspection phase, to the reconditioning phase,
to return shipment. You can have peace of mind knowing that our technical
experts are supervising every step of your reconditioning process, and
providing the high quality overhaul that has made Timken an industry leader
for over half a century.

The Process
Each bearing undergoes our Timken Aerospace Bearing Inspection process,
where it receives a complete visual, dimensional, and functional inspection,
as well as a complete cleaning. If a bearing fails the serviceability inspection,
it is immediately routed to our Timken Aerospace Bearing Reconditioning
process for reconditioning and final inspection. The fully reconditioned
bearings are then shipped back to you, cleaned and preserved in
vacuum-sealed packaging complete with:
 |
- |
 |
A completed FAA 8130-3 tag (with dual-release statement for
international customers). |
 |
- |
 |
A Profile Card containing the actual measurements of each
main engine bearing. |
Timken's inspection process is fully approved by the FAA, CAAC,
European Aviation Safety Agency, and Thailand DOA. These approvals
allow Timken the unique opportunity to inspect and recondition all OEM
bearings at a competitive price. We also maintain a Quality Management
System registered in compliance with the international standard ISO
9001:2000, and are constantly improving our industry-leading processes.
With our convenient Ship Direct program, Timken handles the entire
bearing inspection and reconditioning process so you don't have to.
