Today’s consumer demands reliable performance from all household equipment. Timken engineering, coupled with an expanded product line, helps us deliver cost-effective solutions for optimum service life. Combining individual products in unitized assemblies helps us deliver enhanced value to our customers.

• Molding a plastic gear to a drawn-steel sleeve that mates with a compact roller clutch provides a cost-effective assembly for a vacuum cleaner actuator. This saves handling and installation time.


• A unitized needle thrust bearing assembly accommodates axial loads in a washing machine transmission. The design reduces tolerance stack-up (by lowering the number of components from six to two), eases installation and improves lubrication retention.
