As exercise equipment becomes more varied and sophisticated, Timken continues to meet diverse requirements for efficient friction management, envelope restrictions, cost effectiveness and reduced noise. Working with manufacturers of exercise bikes, treadmills and rowers helps us develop a wide range of solutions, from individual bearings and roller clutches to integrated assemblies.

• Our unitized assembly for an exercise bicycle crank reduces the number of components and provides a bolt-on unit that simplifies handling and installation while reducing noise and total cost.


• Timken® drawn cup roller clutches provide the alternating locking and overrunning action that powers rowing machine flywheels. Our low-cost alternative delivers smooth and reliable performance.
