  2. Tapered roller bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapered_roller_bearing

    Timken was able to significantly reduce the friction on his axle bearings by adding tapered elements which actually rolled while transferring the load evenly from axle to frame through the hardened steel inner and outer rings and the rollers – his tapered roller bearing. The tapered roller bearing in combination with modern lubricants is ...

    The first locomotive to use roller bearings made by Timken was Timken 1111, a 4-8-4 built by Alco in 1930. The locomotive was used on 15 American railroads for demonstration runs, and was purchased by the Northern Pacific Railroad, the last railroad to try the specially-built locomotive, in 1933.

    1897 Tapered roller bearing. Tapered roller bearings are bearings that can take large axial forces as well as being able to sustain large radial forces. They were co-invented by German-American Henry Timken and Reginald Heinzelman. [56] On August 27, 1897, Timken and Heizelman filed U.S. patent #606,635 which was issued to them jointly on June ...

His family migrated to the United States when he was 7 years old. He began his business career in the St. Louis region.

  6. Rolling-element bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling-element_bearing

    A cylindrical roller bearing. Roller bearings are the earliest known type of rolling-element-bearing, dating back to at least 40 BC. Common roller bearings use cylinders of slightly greater length than diameter. Roller bearings typically have a higher radial load capacity than ball bearings, but a lower capacity and higher friction under axial ...

[17] Today the company engineers, manufactures and markets bearings, gear drives, automated lubrication systems, belts, chain, couplings and linear motion products, and offers a ...

  8. Thrust bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust_bearing

    Tapered roller thrust bearings consist of small tapered rollers arranged so that their axes all converge at a point on the axis of the bearing. The length of the roller and the diameter of the wide and the narrow ends and the angle of rollers need to be carefully calculated to provide the correct taper so that each end of the roller rolls ...
