Company Overview

In the field of tapered roller bearings, Timken's deep knowledge of metallurgy, tribology and mechanical power transmission helps improve the efficiency and reliability of equipment, machinery and vehicles around the world. Today, Henry Timken's vision of making the world run more efficiently and reliably is at the heart of Timken's business. In the 1890s, Henry Timken, a carriage maker in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, discovered that heavy freight carriages often had difficulty turning sharp corners. To solve this problem, he used a tapered roller bearing design that could withstand radial (weight) and axial (side reaction) loads. The results of this application were very exciting and brought many benefits to customers. First, this application made the carriage run smoother, reducing repair and replacement costs. In some cases, the bearings also improved the performance of the carriage, thereby reducing the number of mules and horses used. More importantly, smoother turns reduced the chance of lost goods. Henry Timken always had the interests of the customer in mind, and soon discovered that there were many other applications where tapered roller bearings could also improve equipment performance. Henry Timken and his two sons, HH Timken and William Timken, founded Timken Roller Bearing & Axle Company in 1899, laying the foundation for the global enterprise that keeps the world turning. Over the years, Timken has helped customers succeed with a clear corporate vision, industry focus, advanced processes and global expansion. From 1899 to today, Timken has continued to drive global industry. Henry Timken's patent for tapered roller bearings is the foundation on which Timken has been built. Since 1899, Timken has significantly expanded its product portfolio through innovation and acquisitions, while earning a high reputation by solving tough problems on Earth and in space. In the 1950s, automated high-volume bearing production had reached new speeds, driving Timken's production and profits to new levels, but Timken never stopped improving. In 2014, Timken introduced the DeltaX program, a major investment to accelerate product development and expand product lines. As early as the beginning of the 20th century, Timken entered the overseas market through a licensing agreement signed in the UK, and then achieved large-scale overseas expansion in the 1960s and the following decades. Today, Timken serves customers and markets around the world through a global network. Timken in China Timken entered the Chinese market in 1992. In China, Timken has not only established a strong business team, but also invested in the construction of manufacturing bases with global production or service capabilities.

Bearing Housing Information

What is Bearing Housing

A bearing housing is a structure or enclosure that holds a bearing in place, providing support and protection. It ensures the correct alignment and positioning of the bearing within a machine or equipment, and helps to distribute loads from the bearing to the surrounding structure. Bearing housings are used in various machinery, including motors, pumps, conveyors, and industrial equipment, to house different types of bearings, such as ball bearings, roller bearings, and sleeve bearings.

History of Bearing Housing

The bearing housing has evolved along with the development of bearings and machinery. Initially, simple housings were used to hold bearings in early machines, but as machinery became more complex and precise, bearing housings have become more specialized. They now incorporate features like seals, lubrication systems, and mounting options, reflecting the need for better bearing performance, longer service life, and ease of maintenance in industrial and mechanical applications.

Purpose of Bearing Housing

The main purpose of a bearing housing is to provide a stable and secure environment for the bearing. It helps in maintaining the alignment of the bearing, protecting it from contaminants, and facilitating lubrication. The housing also transfers loads from the bearing to the machine frame, ensuring the smooth operation of rotating or moving parts and contributing to the overall reliability and durability of the machinery.

Principle of Bearing Housing

Bearing housings operate by securely holding the bearing, often through press fit, bolts, or other mounting methods. They are designed to accommodate the bearing's outer dimensions and provide a cavity for lubrication and seals. The housing's shape, material, and features like flanges and baseplates help in attaching the housing to the machine frame, while internal passages and ports may be included for lubrication and cooling, depending on the design.

Features of Bearing Housing

Material: Bearing housings can be made of cast iron, steel, aluminum, or other materials. Cast iron is common due to its durability and vibration damping properties, while steel is used for high-strength applications. Aluminum is preferred for lightweight designs. The material affects the housing's strength, weight, and cost.
Type: Different types of bearing housings include pillow block housings, flange housings, and take-up housings. Pillow block housings are used for shaft support in conveyor systems, flange housings are mounted directly to equipment, and take-up housings are used in belt tensioning systems, each serving different mechanical functions.
Seals and Covers: Seals prevent contaminants from entering the bearing, protecting it from dust, water, and debris. Covers can be added to the housing for added protection and to retain lubricant, improving the bearing's lifespan.
Lubrication System: Some bearing housings have built-in lubrication systems, such as grease fittings or oil reservoirs, which facilitate easy maintenance and ensure proper lubrication of the bearing, enhancing its performance and longevity.

Types of Bearing Housing

Pillow Block Housing: Commonly used for supporting shafts in conveyor systems and machinery, pillow block housings have a base that can be bolted to a surface. They are easy to install and provide stable support for the bearing, allowing for adjustment of shaft alignment.
Flange Housing: Mounted directly to equipment using flange bolts, flange housings offer a compact design and are used in applications where space is limited. They provide a secure connection to the equipment, ensuring the bearing's alignment and load transfer.
Take-Up Housing: Used in belt-driven systems to adjust belt tension, take-up housings allow for movement of the bearing to maintain proper belt tension. They have mechanisms for adjusting the position of the bearing, helping in maintaining the performance of conveyor belts and other belt-driven machinery.
Specialty Bearing Housings: Some bearing housings are designed for specific applications, such as split housings that allow for easier bearing replacement without disassembling the entire machine, or housings for high-temperature or corrosive environments, with special materials and seals.

Precautions for using Bearing Housing

Alignment: Ensure proper alignment of the bearing housing and the bearing within it. Misalignment can lead to uneven loading, premature bearing wear, and reduced equipment life. Use alignment tools and follow installation guidelines to ensure correct positioning.
