Timken provides dental instrument manufacturers with ball bearings, assemblies and lubricants that set the standard in handpiece performance. That’s because we offer choices. By matching cage materials to specific application needs, and by offering both angular and radial configurations, customers can choose the best combination for their needs.

Applications

• Dental drills and handpieces
• Dental chairs

Timken products offer the following advantages for these applications:

• Many bearings are made from a specially engineered Timken® stainless steel – N-DUR steel – that is harder and more corrosion-resistant than standard 440C steels.
• Timken’s Minapure™ ball bearings feature a seven-ball geometry, which reduces misalignment and improves cage strength.
