TIMKEN Product Introduction

**TIMKEN Tapered Roller Bearings – 2TS (Matched Bearing Assembly): Precision Engineered for Heavy-Duty Performance**

When it comes to reliability, durability, and high-performance power transmission, **TIMKEN Tapered Roller Bearings – 2TS (Matched Bearing Assembly)** stand as a benchmark in the industry. Designed for applications demanding exceptional load capacity, precise alignment, and long service life, these matched bearing assemblies combine TIMKEN’s advanced metallurgy, precision engineering, and rigorous quality control to deliver unmatched performance in the most demanding environments.

### **Technical Features & Design Advantages**
The **TIMKEN 2TS Matched Bearing Assembly** consists of two single-row tapered roller bearings mounted in a pre-set, face-to-face (DF) or back-to-back (DB) configuration. This matched pairing ensures optimal load distribution, reduced friction, and enhanced rigidity—critical for applications with combined radial and axial (thrust) loads. Key features include:

– **Premium Steel Construction:** Manufactured from ultra-clean, high-carbon chromium steel for superior strength, fatigue resistance, and extended bearing life.
– **Precision-Ground Rollers & Raceways:** Optimized contact angles and surface finishes minimize friction, heat generation, and wear.
– **Advanced Cage Designs:** Precision-machined brass or steel cages maintain roller alignment, even under high-speed or shock-load conditions.
– **Pre-Lubricated & Sealed Options:** Available with factory-applied lubricants and integrated sealing solutions for maintenance-free operation in contaminated environments.
– **Interchangeability & Standardization:** Conforms to ISO and ABMA standards, ensuring compatibility with OEM and aftermarket systems.

### **Performance Benefits**
TIMKEN’s 2TS matched assemblies excel in applications where misalignment, heavy loads, or variable speeds are common. Their benefits include:

– **Higher Load Capacity:** Tapered geometry distributes loads evenly across rollers, handling both radial and thrust forces simultaneously.
– **Enhanced Stiffness & Stability:** The matched configuration resists shaft deflection, improving accuracy in precision equipment.
– **Reduced Maintenance Costs:** Engineered for long service intervals, even in harsh conditions (e.g., high temperatures, dust, or moisture).
– **Energy Efficiency:** Low friction design minimizes power loss, contributing to lower operational costs.

### **Typical Applications**
TIMKEN 2TS matched tapered roller bearings are widely used across industries, including:

– **Industrial Machinery:** Gearboxes, conveyors, pumps, and compressors where heavy loads and continuous operation are critical.
– **Automotive Systems:** Wheel hubs, differentials, and transmissions in commercial trucks, off-road vehicles, and performance cars.
– **Precision Equipment:** Machine tool spindles, printing presses, and robotics requiring tight tolerances and smooth rotation.

For engineers and maintenance professionals seeking a robust, high-performance bearing solution, **TIMKEN’s 2TS Matched Bearing Assembly** delivers the perfect balance of strength, precision, and reliability—backed by over a century of TIMKEN innovation in power transmission technology.
