TIMKEN Product Introduction
**TIMKEN Tapered Roller Bearings – TNA (Tapered Double, Non-Adjustable) Imperial Series (122): Engineered for Durability and Precision**
TIMKEN’s TNA series tapered roller bearings represent a robust and reliable solution for applications requiring high radial and thrust load capacity in a compact, non-adjustable design. As part of the renowned TIMKEN tapered roller bearing family, the TNA series (Imperial 122) is engineered to deliver exceptional performance in demanding industrial, automotive, and heavy machinery applications. These double-row bearings are precision-manufactured to reduce friction, extend service life, and ensure consistent operation under challenging conditions.
### **Technical Features & Design Advantages**
The TNA series features a double-row, non-adjustable tapered roller bearing configuration, optimized for applications where precise axial positioning is critical. Key design elements include:
– **Double-Row Tapered Design**: Two rows of tapered rollers arranged in an opposing configuration provide balanced load distribution, enhancing both radial and axial load capacity.
– **Non-Adjustable Construction**: The rigid, single-piece outer ring simplifies installation by eliminating the need for adjustment during mounting, reducing assembly time and complexity.
– **Premium Steel Alloys**: Manufactured from high-quality, case-hardened steel, these bearings resist wear, fatigue, and deformation under heavy loads and high-speed conditions.
– **Precision-Ground Surfaces**: Optimized roller and raceway geometries minimize friction and heat generation, improving efficiency and reducing energy consumption.
– **Sealing & Lubrication Options**: Available with various sealing configurations to protect against contaminants and retain lubrication, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh environments.
### **Performance Benefits**
TIMKEN TNA bearings are designed to excel in applications where durability and load-carrying capacity are paramount. Their advantages include:
– **Superior Load Handling**: The double-row design supports combined radial and thrust loads more effectively than single-row bearings, making them ideal for heavy industrial equipment.
– **Extended Service Life**: Advanced heat treatment and surface finishing techniques reduce wear and prevent premature failure, even in high-stress applications.
– **Reduced Maintenance Needs**: The non-adjustable design minimizes the risk of misalignment, lowering the frequency of re-lubrication and maintenance interventions.
– **Versatility**: Suitable for both moderate and high-speed operations, these bearings perform reliably in diverse environments, from gearboxes to conveyor systems.
### **Typical Applications**
TIMKEN TNA tapered roller bearings are widely used in industries where reliability under heavy loads is critical, including:
– **Industrial Machinery**: Conveyors, crushers, and mining equipment requiring robust bearing solutions for shock and vibration resistance.
– **Automotive Systems**: Wheel hubs, drivetrains, and axle assemblies where high thrust load capacity is essential.
– **Precision Equipment**: Machine tool spindles and agricultural machinery demanding tight tolerances and smooth operation.
With a legacy of engineering excellence, TIMKEN’s TNA series tapered roller bearings provide a dependable, high-performance solution for applications that demand strength, precision, and longevity. Whether in heavy industrial settings or precision mechanical systems, these bearings deliver unmatched reliability under the most demanding conditions.
