Value of Engineering: Supporting Airlines for a Safe Return to Service
Timken® landing wheel bearings enable safe takeoffs and landings for nearly every commercial jet globally. When COVID-19 grounded most of the world’s fleet, the industry was charged with keeping planes airworthy, without flying.
The Right Material for Every Application
Timken Materials R&D push the limits of physics to create processes and technologies that solve previously unsolvable problems.
Sustainable Expertise: Tracking the Sun to Power the Earth
New solar installations eclipsed new wind builds last year—a trend expected to continue through 2021 as the world transitions to more renewables. Cone Drive by Timken is the unequivocal leader in precision motion control solutions for solar tracker systems
Cultivating the Next Generation of Bearing Experts
Mike Kotzalas is known in the industry for co-authoring “the book on bearings,” among many other outstanding accomplishments. Empowering his team to go out and solve customer problems, however—that’s what really makes him proud. In a recent interview, we talked to him about his strategy to develop the next generation of bearing experts.
A Bearing Worthy of the World’s Most Powerful Wind Turbine
Timken Ploiesti’s Engineering Center of Excellence maintains fluid communication from the customer to the manufacturing plant and back—which is how you build some of the largest bearings in the world, for some of the largest wind turbines ever.
