TIMKEN® ADAPT™ ROLLER BEARINGS
They are available in a variety of sizes and are the most popular of all rolling element bearings. This type of bearing supports radial and a certain degree of axial load in both directions.
Key Benefits
Proven Performance
Timken conducted extensive in-house testing against equivalent-size toroidal bearings from leading brands. Results confirm ADAPT bearings offer:
Including 21 heat generation and bearing life tests conducted on 170 ADAPT and 50 competitor bearings; over 70,000 testing hours and over 8 years; bearings manufactured to ISO 2212 boundary dimensions (60 & 110 x 28 mm); speeds ranging from 1200 to 4800 RPM; loads between 10 and 50 percent of ISO calculated C1 rating.
Easier Installation
The ADAPT bearing consists of an inner ring, outer ring, and roller/retainer assembly. The separable components simplify installation, removal, and inspection. The retainer holds the rollers in position, creating a single assembly that prevents the rollers from being damaged during mounting and dismounting. The inner ring and outer ring can be installed in either direction, helping to avoid common mounting errors. No special tooling is required.
ADAPT for Continuous Caster Applications
The metal industry’s tough environment places extreme demand on equipment. That makes maintaining operations and reducing downtime essential in continuous casters where performance and reliability are critical. ADAPT’s innovative design redefines the preferred choice of bearings for the float position in strand roll support segments.
ADAPT for Paper Mill Applications
From paper dryers to shaker screens and blowers and fans, ADAPT bearings outperform in tough environments. Timken’s ADAPT bearings provide a better option for handling misalignment and axial float.

During bearing rotation, the solid lubricant polymer releases the appropriate amount of oil to lubricate the rolling elements and raceways.
Timken Solid Lube Features:
Hygienic.
Its unique makeup helps prevent lube from contaminating food products. Timken FVSL613 Solid Lube option contains an NSF H1-registered synthetic oil that complies with FDA guidelines for lubricants with incidental food contact under 21.CFR 178.3570.
Protected.
Full-fill and large-oil reservoirs help guard against washdown and ingress of contaminants for safe and reliable operation.
Cost-effective.
Timken Solid Lube can help reduce your operating costs and increase operational productivity.

TIMKEN® THRUST BEARINGS
The TPS type thrust cylindrical bearing is similar to type TP, except the bottom washer is comprised of two races, with the contacting faces spherically ground. The TPS bearing is self-adjusting to initial misalignment. It is not suggested for applications where alignment may be continuously changing (dynamic misalignment).
Size range:
50.8 mm to 406.4 mm (2 in. to 16 in.)
Design Attributes:
- Bottom washer design makes bearing adaptable to initial misalignment.

- Simple design is the most economical to purchase and install.
Applications:
- Construction wheeled equipment
- Drilling equipment
- Lifting equipment
- Power generation gearboxes
