For many automated manufacturing facilities, six axes are no longer enough. The seventh axis gives robots greater range—enabling them to ‘walk’ across varying distances. Machine designers are increasingly integrating sophisticated Seventh Axis solutions from Rollon, a Timken company, into equipment that expertly produces everything from dishwashers to drivetrains. Here’s why.

BrightSource Energy’s Ivanpah power plant turns the intense sunlight of the Mohave into electricity for 140,000 California homes. To optimize output, the team relies on Cone Drive gear sets to precisely position 173,000 heliostats.

Wilson Balbiani, of Groeneveld-BEKA Lubrication Systems by Timken, weighs in on how automatic lubrication products are making off-road construction and port equipment more environmentally sustainable.

Ever wonder how sugar evolves from cane to crystals? Learn about the challenges this Australian raw sugar producer faced in their operations and why they’re now sweet on Timken.

Lifting and maneuvering multi-billion-dollar equipment in manufacturing and testing environments requires precision overhead material handling systems. See how Wazee Crane, part of Timken Power Systems, helped in handling the Sierra Nevada Dream Chaser® spacecraft and other critical spacecrafts and satellites.

While the pace and complexity of global manufacturing continues to accelerate, Timken quality never falters. Vice President of Quality Matt Eckels talks about the systems, standards, and culture involved in maintaining that century-old commitment.

The Atacama Large Millimeter Array sits atop a plateau in the Andes. How it got there is a story of high-altitude engineering.

As demand for automatic lubrication systems grows, Groeneveld-BEKA offers Timken customers innovation, expertise and selection.

By putting together the broadest range of bearings and power transmission products available for food and beverage, Timken is helping the industry become safer and more efficient.

The world’s greatest tapered roller bearing has seen a myriad of upgrades since its introduction in 1899. Doug Smith, vice president of technology, talks about how Timken is unleashing the power of all that experience to expand the product portfolio.

As electric vehicles make headlines, Timken engineers help auto suppliers deliver increasingly power-dense, fuel-efficient solutions.

With the acquisition of The Rollon Group, Timken expands its offerings for robotics and automation customers.

Timken researchers worked directly with customers to develop ES302 wear-resistant coatings. The results dramatically extend lifespans for applications in wind energy, agriculture, aerospace and others.

Customers in growth markets, such as solar, robotics, and food and beverage, stand to benefit from Timken’s Cone Drive acquisition, as the company broadens and expands its global offerings.

The Gotthard Base Tunnel is the longest railway tunnel in the world. During its seven years of construction, Timken made sure the team never ran short of the 130 bearings required for each boring machine’s cutter face.
