The Timken Company's expertise is in metallurgy, friction management and power transmission. In using this expertise their goal is to improve the reliability and efficiency of machinery all around the world.
The deviation of the shaft cross section from a true click. Out-of-round is measured as the radial distance, on a polar chart recording, between concentric, circumscribed and inscribed circles that contain the trace and are centered to minimize the radial distance.
Industry:Machine tools
Measurable irregularity across a plane surface, such as a disc brake rotor, hub or wheel assembly.

This is the same as gyration. When it is expressed in inches alone or accompanied by the abbreviation TIR (total indicator reading), it refers to twice the radial distance between the shaft axis and axis of rotation.
Industry:Machine tools
Displacement of surface of bearing relative to fixed point when one raceway is rotated with respect to other raceway.
Industry:Machine tools
Abnormal wear due to localized welding and fracture. It can be prevented through the use of anti-wear, extreme-pressure and friction-modifier additives.
Industry:Machine tools
A soft synthetic rubber washer with a steel core fixed in the outer ring (in the seal groove) in contact with the inner ring to retain lubricant and keep out contamination.
Industry:Machine tools
Spherical outside diameter ball bearing which can accommodate initial angular misalignment between the outer ring and its mating spherical aligning ring or housing seat.
Industry:Machine tools
A bearing that may be separated completely or partially into its component parts.
