Timken® Pinion Pac

Timken Pinion-Pac is a ready-to-install, pre-sealed, pre-set tapered roller bearing unit that simplifies axle assembly and improves system performance in light duty automotive applications. Precision manufacturing with tight tolerances delivers improved concentricity and optimal bearing setting, resulting in better gear mesh contact and longer bearing life. A stiff, compact design reduces gear mesh deflection under dynamic loads while lowering overall system weight by up to 15 percent for improved handling and fuel efficiency. The self-contained bearing package simplifies assembly, reduces component count, minimizes seal wear, and streamlines axle maintenance.

Benefits

Key Applications

  • Tighter manufacturing tolerances provide better concentricity and optimum bearing setting for improved gear mesh contact and longer bearing life
  • Stiff design reduces deflection at the gear mesh point during dynamic loading conditions, improving gear reliability
  • Compact design can result in an overall weight reduction of up to 15 percent – translating into better handling and increased fuel efficiency
  • Self-contained package reduces the need for bearing assembly tooling and can eliminate 45 percent of the components that need stocked for conventional designs
  • Improved concentricity of the seal riding surface on the bearing inner race results in less seal wear, reducing warranty claims
  • Package design simplifies axle repair — maintenance shops can keep fewer replacement parts on hand and technicians will spend less time on installation
