Design Modification Delivers Results
The unique operating conditions of pulp and paper mills subject bearings to high stresses and other potentially damaging conditions. Timken’s spherical bearing design modifications successfully address these concerns.

Bearing Repair

Just as new designs and technologies improve bearings for the paper industry, growing expertise and technology continue to increase the reliability and performance of reconditioned bearings, keeping it an economical alternative to purchasing new.

Optimal Spherical Roller Bearing Performance 

Proper spherical roller bearing (SRB) performance is critical, especially considering SRBs are used in nearly 90 percent of paper mill applications. Backed by industry and application expertise, Timken provides a complete line of spherical roller bearing designs ranging from 25 mm bore to 1,500 mm bore that can be utilized throughout the pulp and paper process.

Enhance Paper Machine Operations with Engineered Surfaces
For the harshest of paper machine environments, including suction rolls, large press rolls, dryer cans and calendar stacks, Timken’s specially designed engineered surface finishes are available to extend fatigue life of a standard bearing.
